Shawn Vanzandt

Shawn Vanzandt serves as a key procurement professional within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and facility support services essential to veteran care delivery. Responsible for managing complex contracts spanning medical equipment, facility maintenance, and technical services, Vanzandt ensures VA hospitals and clinics remain operational, compliant, and technologically current. His portfolio emphasizes high-reliability procurement activities that directly support clinical environments, including the acquisition of surgical instruments, electromedical systems, and building systems integration. Vanzandt maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized vendors capable of delivering precision medical equipment, facility modernization, and maintenance services under stringent federal compliance standards. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of his acquisitions—91%—are conducted without set-asides, Vanzandt demonstrates targeted support for socioeconomic programs, with approximately 6% of awards directed to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 3% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to both operational efficiency and veteran-centric socioeconomic goals. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 811219 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with significant activity in facilities support services (561210), plumbing and HVAC contracting (238220), surgical instrument manufacturing (339112), and custom computer programming (541511). This technical breadth underscores his expertise in integrating facility systems with clinical technology needs across the VA’s healthcare delivery network.
