Barbara C. Roberson

Barbara C. Roberson serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R10 Services Acquisitions Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring integrated facilities support services essential to the operational integrity of federal buildings. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical facility standards. She specializes in acquiring maintenance, operations, and support services that sustain the physical environment of federal infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on accessibility, resilience, and regulatory compliance. Barbara cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse array of vendors, including small businesses and specialized service providers delivering facilities management solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms capable of delivering multi-disciplinary services under performance-based work statements. She fosters transparent, compliant vendor relationships grounded in clear performance metrics and accountability frameworks, ensuring high-quality service delivery across federal sites. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for 43.8% of her awards and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 representing 25.0%. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on empowering economically disadvantaged and geographically targeted businesses, aligning with GSA’s broader mission to drive equitable economic opportunity through federal contracting. Barbara’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which constitutes half of her acquisitions, supplemented by significant activity in janitorial services (561720), landscaping (561730), food service (722310), and telephone answering services (561421). Her expertise spans the full spectrum of building operations support, with deep familiarity in performance-based service contracting, work order systems, and facility sustainment requirements under federal standards.
