Anthony Prata

Anthony Prata serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, supporting the modernization and maintenance of high-priority federal infrastructure including land ports of entry and naval installations. He manages end-to-end acquisition cycles for construction-manager-at-risk services, facility support, and real estate advisory contracts, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission of delivering secure, resilient, and efficient federal buildings. His work spans the full spectrum of project delivery, from planning and design through construction and commissioning, with a focus on compliance with FAR Part 36 and integrated project delivery frameworks. Prata maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors such as PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J CONTRACTORS, INC., who provide specialized construction management and facility services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, performance-based vendors capable of delivering complex infrastructure projects under tight timelines and stringent security requirements. His contracting approach emphasizes accountability, risk mitigation, and collaborative project execution, often leveraging design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery methods to enhance efficiency and outcomes. While the majority of his acquisitions are open to full and open competition, Prata consistently allocates approximately 28.6% of his portfolio to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to competition and capability, prioritizing qualified small firms with proven experience in federal construction and facility support. His primary procurement focus lies in real estate advisory services, particularly under NAICS 531320 and 531390, encompassing property assessments, land use analysis, and facility condition evaluations. He also procures testing and inspection services under NAICS 541380, indicating technical expertise in building systems compliance and environmental safety standards. Prata’s domain knowledge centers on the intersection of real estate strategy and physical infrastructure lifecycle management within federal facilities.
