Bernice P. Jackson

Bernice P. Jackson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R4 (AMD) Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and professional services acquisitions for federal facilities. Her work directly supports the mission of delivering secure, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure—including courthouses and office complexes—through end-to-end contract lifecycle management. She specializes in procuring architectural design, commercial construction, and electrical installation services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA policy while aligning acquisitions with strategic modernization goals for federal real property. Jackson maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key contractor providing integrated construction and site development services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. While she engages with a range of qualified vendors, her pattern of engagement reflects a preference for established firms with demonstrated capability in federal facility projects, particularly those experienced in navigating complex compliance and security requirements. Her contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 91.7% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on technical merit and contractor capacity over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 8.3% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery standards. Jackson’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 238210 (Electrical Contractors), reflecting deep domain knowledge in design-build delivery, building systems integration, and infrastructure modernization. She routinely manages contracts for new construction, renovation, and facility upgrades, ensuring alignment with sustainability benchmarks and federal building codes.
