Barbara N Marthe

Barbara N. Marthe serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she manages the acquisition of critical facility support services for federal buildings and land ports of entry nationwide. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure the safety, functionality, and operational efficiency of federal infrastructure through integrated contracting strategies. She specializes in design-build construction support and facility maintenance services, routinely overseeing solicitations under FAR Part 36 and Part 48, with a strong emphasis on performance-based service contracts and integrated facility management solutions. Marthe maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., all of which provide specialized janitorial, security, and site maintenance services. Her procurement approach favors established small business vendors with proven track records in federal facility operations, fostering long-term, performance-driven partnerships that prioritize reliability, compliance, and responsiveness across diverse geographic locations. Her contracting portfolio is fully aligned with small business set-aside preferences, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals, ensuring that all awards flow exclusively to small businesses without further subcategories, thereby maximizing participation and opportunity across the small business community. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, and NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which encompasses custodial, waste management, and building operations support. She has developed deep expertise in performance specifications for cleaning standards, preventive maintenance schedules, and facility readiness protocols, ensuring that federal properties meet stringent operational and safety benchmarks.
