Bob L. Waring

Bob L. Waring serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R3 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration, where he plays a pivotal role in securing real estate and facility-related services to support federal operations across Region 3. Responsible for the full lifecycle of procurement activities, he manages complex contracts for building construction, renovation, maintenance, and long-term leasing of federal facilities. His work directly advances the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modernized workspaces by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with strategic infrastructure goals. He routinely handles firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based management. Bob maintains professional, arms-length relationships with a broad spectrum of contractors, including large architectural and engineering firms, construction management firms, and facility services providers. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages qualified firms with demonstrated experience in federal facility projects, emphasizing past performance, safety records, and compliance with federal environmental and accessibility standards. His contracting approach prioritizes competitive bidding and transparent evaluation processes to ensure value and accountability. Bob’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-asides. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on merit-based selection from the broader market to meet complex facility needs. His approach underscores a commitment to efficiency and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to building construction (236), architectural and engineering services (5413), and facility support services (5612). He specializes in procuring design-build, construction management at-risk, and integrated project delivery services, demonstrating deep expertise in federal building codes, sustainability standards, and facility lifecycle management.
