Robert Pitre

Robert Pitre serves as a Contracting Officer for the 249-NETWORK Contract Office 9 (36C249) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he manages complex procurement actions to modernize VA healthcare infrastructure and equip clinical environments with critical medical technologies. His portfolio encompasses facility systems upgrades—including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and roofing—as well as the acquisition of electromedical devices and pharmaceutical preparations essential to veteran care. Pitre ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the VA’s strategic imperative to sustain and enhance medical facility readiness across the national healthcare network. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, L1 Enterprises Incorporated, Adelphi Staffing, LLC, Firewatch Contracting of Florida LLC, and Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc., each of which delivers specialized services in facility maintenance, technical staffing, and medical equipment support. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships that ensure reliability, compliance, and mission continuity in high-stakes healthcare environments. Pitre demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting the VA’s mission to support veteran entrepreneurs. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, his deliberate use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a strategic focus on empowering veteran-owned businesses within the federal supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), followed by 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) and 325412/325413 for pharmaceutical and diagnostic substance production. He routinely procures mission-critical systems ranging from HVAC infrastructure to advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, demonstrating deep technical fluency in healthcare facility operations and medical technology procurement.
