Anne K. LaPorta

Anne K. LaPorta serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she leads the procurement of mission-critical infrastructure and facility services for federal buildings and land ports of entry nationwide. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of design-build and construction contracts, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s goals of safety, efficiency, and modernization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, integrating integrated project delivery methods and performance-based specifications to deliver high-quality, sustainably designed federal facilities. LaPorta maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in federal construction, facility maintenance, and site development. Her contracting approach emphasizes accountability, performance metrics, and timely delivery, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in regulatory compliance and operational reliability. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with nearly one-third of her awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and nearly one-sixth allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. While half of her contracts remain open to full and open competition, her deliberate use of set-asides demonstrates a balanced approach to promoting equitable access while maintaining competitive rigor in mission-critical acquisitions. LaPorta’s technical expertise is centered on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — where she oversees the full spectrum of facility acquisition, from new construction and renovation to modernization and operational support services. Her domain knowledge includes integrated design-build delivery, building systems integration, and facility lifecycle management, ensuring that federal infrastructure meets evolving security, accessibility, and sustainability standards.
