Ana Lau

Ana Lau serves as Project Manager/Architect for the Public Buildings Service’s R9 AMD Capital Projects unit, where she leads the design and construction delivery of mission-critical federal facilities across the Western United States. In this dual-role capacity, she integrates architectural oversight with procurement strategy to ensure compliance with federal building standards, sustainability mandates, and resilience requirements under the Inflation Reduction Act. She manages complex acquisitions for new construction and modernization of federal courthouses, land ports of entry, and secure government facilities, coordinating with design teams, construction managers, and federal stakeholders to align project outcomes with GSA’s high-performance building goals. Her acquisitions typically involve full-service design-build and construction management at-risk contracts, emphasizing integrated project delivery models. Ana Lau maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of prime contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, including firms with proven expertise in federal security protocols, seismic retrofitting, and sustainable building systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated experience in GSA’s Design Excellence Program and LEED-certified construction. Her working relationships are characterized by early contractor involvement, rigorous pre-solicitation outreach, and performance-based contract administration to ensure quality control and schedule adherence. Ana Lau’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and project scale over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes competitive fairness and technical merit, ensuring the selection of contractors with the strongest capacity to deliver complex, high-security infrastructure. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new builds, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for federal facilities. She specializes in procurements involving reinforced concrete, blast-resistant design, HVAC systems for secure environments, and integrated building automation systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in federal construction standards and codes.
