Bernadette Archie

Bernadette R. Archie serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R2 Repair and Alterations Branch, where she manages the acquisition of construction and facility modernization services critical to maintaining federal infrastructure nationwide. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission to preserve, repair, and upgrade federal buildings. She primarily handles complex construction and design services under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on delivering safe, functional, and historically sensitive facilities across the U.S. and its territories. Archie maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RAAD Construction Group LLC, Southeast Restoration, Inc., F.L. Pinto Companies, LLC, SDPM JFM Construcciones Joint Venture, and Venergy Group LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in commercial and institutional building renovation, historic preservation, and integrated facility services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, leveraging past performance and technical capability to ensure high-quality outcomes and long-term asset reliability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Archie consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 80% of her acquisitions to small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among qualified vendors, aligning with GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a steadfast commitment to inclusive procurement practices that empower small businesses while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for the majority of her portfolio, alongside NAICS 541490 (Other Specialized Design Services). She procures a range of services including structural renovations, mechanical system upgrades, ADA compliance improvements, and architectural design support, requiring deep familiarity with building codes, construction methodologies, and federal facility standards.
