Aisha A. Lemos

Aisha A. Lemos serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of Facility Management under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain federal infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on facility support services essential to operational readiness, environmental compliance, and security integration. She routinely manages contracts for custodial services, preventive maintenance, HVAC system support, waste management, and facility security systems, ensuring alignment with federal standards and lifecycle efficiency goals. Her work directly enables the agency’s mandate to maintain safe, clean, and resilient government buildings nationwide. Aisha collaborates with a diverse array of vendors, including large-scale facility services contractors and specialized technical firms delivering integrated building systems support. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven experience in federal facility operations, particularly those capable of meeting stringent security and sustainability requirements. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance monitoring, compliance adherence, and a focus on long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. Aisha’s procurement approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. This indicates a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition among qualified vendors without socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance over targeted socioeconomic categories. While she does not routinely award contracts under 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains transparent and fully compliant with all federal socioeconomic contracting regulations. Her technical domain centers on facility operations and maintenance services, with primary focus on NAICS categories related to building maintenance, janitorial services, and facility support systems. She specializes in procuring integrated solutions that combine physical infrastructure upkeep with environmental and safety compliance, demonstrating deep expertise in federal facility lifecycle management and operational continuity.
