Miller serves as a Lease Contracting Specialist within the Network Contract Office 23 (36C263) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he manages the acquisition of nonresidential real property leases to support VA healthcare facilities nationwide. His role is critical to ensuring the operational readiness of VA medical centers by securing suitable, mission-aligned spaces for clinical services, administrative functions, and ancillary care delivery.

His acquisitions are exclusively focused on leasing nonresidential buildings, aligning with the VA’s strategic imperative to maintain modern, accessible, and geographically distributed healthcare infrastructure. Miller maintains established relationships with key leasehold providers including BZ Construction and Development LLC, Highlands Enterprises LLC, Pedersen & Rangel, and L1 Enterprises Incorporated, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced commercial real estate developers and property managers with demonstrated capacity to deliver VA-compliant facilities under tight regulatory and security standards. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term stability, facility adaptability, and compliance with accessibility and sustainability requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act and GSA guidelines. A defining feature of Miller’s portfolio is a balanced 50/50 split between Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and open competitions, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to veteran-owned enterprise participation. He consistently prioritizes SDVOSB firms in lease solicitations, reinforcing the VA’s mission to empower veteran entrepreneurs while ensuring competitive, high-quality outcomes. His entire contracting portfolio is concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, space planning for healthcare environments, and leasehold improvement coordination. Miller’s technical domain centers on securing turnkey, fully compliant facilities that meet VA’s stringent operational and patient care standards.
