Amy M. Heusser

Amy M. Heusser serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal construction procurements across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. She plays a pivotal role in delivering secure, resilient, and energy-efficient federal facilities by overseeing design-build and traditional construction contracts that align with GSA’s mission of modernizing mission-critical infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily includes complex, integrated projects requiring coordination among architects, engineers, and specialty trade contractors to ensure compliance with federal building standards and sustainability goals. Heusser cultivates strong partnerships with a diverse array of contractors, particularly those with proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. She consistently engages with small and mid-sized firms capable of executing high-performance building projects under tight regulatory and environmental constraints. Her working relationships emphasize collaboration, performance-based contracting, and strict adherence to FAR compliance, fostering a vendor ecosystem focused on quality, safety, and innovation in federal construction delivery. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Heusser prioritizes small business participation, with over 68% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for underrepresented communities in the construction sector. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to leveraging socioeconomic programs to strengthen local economies and build a resilient contractor base. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant focus on roofing, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. She specializes in procuring integrated building systems that support energy efficiency, resilience, and long-term operational continuity, ensuring federal facilities meet evolving environmental and security standards. Heusser’s work ensures that construction projects not only meet functional requirements but also advance broader federal sustainability and equity objectives.
