Red Gate has been selected by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to work within the agency’s Contract Oversight and Integration Management Program Management Office (COIM PMO) to help transform Human Resources & Administration (HR&A) functions within the agency, with an end goal of building a more collaborative, standardized, and accountable organization.
 
Red Gate will lead an elite team to implement HR&A’s strategy by overseeing each function in the acquisitions process, including strategic planning, acquisitions, operations, financial analysis, performance measurement, and automation. The vision for the project is to build and maintain a project management-based culture within HR&A.
 
“It is an absolute honor and privilege for us to support the VA, especially knowing we are directly helping those who volunteer to protect this nation and provide a better life for all Americans,” says Kevin Lutz, Red Gate chief operating officer. “Being a disabled veteran myself, I fully appreciate the value of having an organization like the VA working on your behalf after transitioning from military service.  The Red Gate team takes great pride in providing quality, value added services to our clients, and we look forward to doing the same for the VA and those it serves.”
 
Red Gate will provide a highly qualified staff of Project Management Professionals (PMPs) and Lean Six Sigma-certified subject matter experts. Work on the project has already begun onsite at the VA’s Central Office and is expected to last through August 2023, with a total contract value of over $17 million.
