Stephanie Swain serves as a Contracting Officer with the 244-NETWORK Contract Office 4 (36C244) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she leads the acquisition of critical facility infrastructure to support VA medical centers and community-based outpatient clinics. Her role centers on managing full-life-cycle procurements for commercial and institutional construction projects, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the VA’s mission to modernize healthcare delivery environments. She oversees complex construction contracts involving design-build, renovation, and new construction services essential to maintaining safe, accessible, and technologically capable clinical spaces for veterans. Swain maintains strategic partnerships with a focused cohort of contractors, including RLS Construction Group, LLC and HAMHED LLC, which consistently deliver high-quality construction and facility modernization services. Her working relationships emphasize reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance excellence, with a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal healthcare infrastructure. She collaborates closely with these contractors to ensure alignment with VA facility standards, environmental compliance, and accessibility requirements under the ADA and VA Design Guidance. Her procurement portfolio is entirely reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting a 100% set-aside commitment that prioritizes veteran entrepreneurship and economic empowerment. This consistent socioeconomic strategy reinforces the VA’s mandate to award contracts to businesses owned by those who served, fostering long-term vendor development and community-based economic resilience. Swain’s primary focus lies in NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — where she manages procurements for new medical facilities, clinic expansions, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, and structural renovations. Her technical expertise spans construction management, building codes compliance, and integrated facility systems, ensuring that every project supports the VA’s clinical mission through durable, safe, and mission-ready infrastructure.
