Reginald D. Hayes

Reginald Hayes supports the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17 (36C257) within the Department of Veterans Affairs as a key procurement professional responsible for securing critical medical and facility infrastructure solutions. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on surgical and medical instruments, in-vitro diagnostic systems, electromedical devices, and laboratory analytics equipment essential to VA healthcare delivery. His work ensures operational readiness across VA medical campuses by facilitating timely procurement of high-technology clinical tools and infrastructure support services, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to deliver world-class care to veterans. Hayes maintains consistent working relationships with leading contractors including Primary Care Solutions Inc., Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Cepheid, VetPride Services, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of large-capacity providers in diagnostics and medical manufacturing alongside specialized construction and service firms. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the complex and mission-critical needs of VA healthcare facilities. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly one-third of awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and an additional 12.5% allocated under total small business set-asides. While half of his acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, his consistent use of SDVOSB and WOSB preferences underscores a deliberate strategy to expand veteran and minority business participation in VA supply chains. Hayes specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 339112 (surgical instrument manufacturing) and 325412 (pharmaceutical preparation), reflecting deep technical expertise in medical device and diagnostic procurement. He also manages acquisitions under 236220 (commercial construction) and 492110 (courier services), indicating a broad operational scope that spans clinical equipment, facility modernization, and logistics support—all vital to sustaining VA’s healthcare infrastructure.
