Belinda Arthur

Belinda L. Arthur serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical facility services to support the maintenance, renovation, and modernization of federal buildings nationwide. Her portfolio centers on construction-related services, including building systems upgrades, interior renovations, and facility operations support, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with GSA’s infrastructure modernization priorities. She exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 15, overseeing competitive solicitations, source selection, and contract administration for complex, performance-based requirements. Ms. Arthur maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for facility services in the Washington, D.C. region. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliable, pre-qualified vendors with demonstrated capacity in specialty trade execution, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. She engages with contractors across multiple tiers, ensuring subcontracting plans are effectively implemented and that quality standards are upheld throughout project lifecycles. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, Ms. Arthur demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 21% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to competition, prioritizing broad small business access without reliance on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting the agency’s operational needs for facility maintenance support, alongside significant activity in specialty trade contracting categories including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, masonry, and other specialty construction services. This technical domain expertise enables her to effectively evaluate contractor capabilities, manage performance metrics, and ensure compliance with federal building codes and sustainability standards.
