Zachery Minns

Zachery Minns serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Veterans Affairs, operating under the Sac Frederick (36C10X) contracting office, where he supports the acquisition of critical medical, operational, and administrative services essential to VA facility readiness. His role centers on managing competitive and non-competitive procurements aligned with the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality veteran healthcare, with a focus on clinical infrastructure, training, and support services. He routinely handles complex contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and requirements contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific procurement policies. Minns maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of trusted contractors, including AFTER ACTION MEDICAL AND DENTAL SUPPLY, LLC, VETERANS HEALTHCARE SUPPLY SOLUTIONS, INC, and PROMETHEUS FEDERAL SERVICES LLC, which provide specialized medical equipment, logistics, and clinical support solutions. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in federal healthcare environments, while also integrating smaller, mission-aligned firms to ensure continuity and reliability across VA service lines. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 30% of awards directed toward socioeconomic categories—particularly Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), which account for 20.5% of set-asides. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, his strategic use of Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) and targeted SDVOSB preferences underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding veteran-owned enterprise participation in VA supply chains. Minns’ primary NAICS focus includes Security Systems Services (561621), Professional and Management Development Training (611430), and Electrical Contractors (238210), reflecting his involvement in facility modernization, staff competency development, and infrastructure upgrades. His expertise spans the integration of clinical support systems, safety compliance, and operational training—domains critical to sustaining the VA’s mission of accessible, high-standard veteran care.
