Ann N. Fleckenstein

Ann N. Fleckenstein serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 3 under the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and design acquisitions for federal facilities. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA’s mission to deliver secure, sustainable, and mission-critical work environments for federal agencies. She primarily manages acquisitions for commercial and institutional building construction, including new builds, renovations, and long-term leasing support, often coordinating with architects, engineers, and general contractors to meet stringent federal standards. Fleckenstein maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors, particularly small businesses and firms experienced in federal construction delivery systems such as design-build and construction manager-at-risk. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing proven experience in public sector construction, with an emphasis on performance-based contracting and quality assurance protocols. Her contracting approach is strongly aligned with socioeconomic goals, as evidenced by an 85.7% preference for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes participation from small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other certified small business concerns, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to equitable economic opportunity and broad vendor access. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she oversees the procurement of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems for federal buildings, alongside NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) for design and planning support. Fleckenstein brings specialized knowledge in sustainable building practices, code compliance, and integrated project delivery, ensuring that all acquisitions align with federal sustainability mandates and long-term operational efficiency goals.
