Alan Eaton

Alan Eaton serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R11 Special Programs Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he manages the acquisition of critical facility support services for high-profile federal buildings in the National Capital Region. His role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of modernizing and sustaining mission-critical infrastructure. He routinely handles complex contracts for security, construction, maintenance, and environmental services, balancing operational urgency with fiscal accountability and regulatory rigor. Eaton collaborates with a diverse pool of contractors, including established firms specializing in commercial and institutional construction, industrial equipment repair, and security operations, as well as certified small businesses meeting stringent socioeconomic criteria. His working relationships are characterized by consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering high-reliability services under strict security and safety protocols. He prioritizes vendors with proven track records in federal facility environments and maintains a collaborative approach to contract performance management, ensuring alignment with agency standards for quality, timeliness, and compliance. Eaton demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a pronounced preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides at 25% and a total small business set-aside rate of 12.5%. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to full and open competition (62.5%), he actively promotes small business participation through targeted outreach and structured set-aside mechanisms, consistently aligning with GSA’s broader goals of equitable opportunity and vendor diversity. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 561612 (security and patrol services), 236220 (commercial and institutional construction), and 811310 (industrial machinery repair), reflecting his technical expertise in facility operations and infrastructure resilience. He also manages specialized contracts for hazardous waste collection and electrical installation, demonstrating broad competency across the spectrum of building support services essential to maintaining secure, safe, and energy-efficient federal facilities.
