Carol N Pope

Carol N. Pope serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 3, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of construction and facility-related acquisitions, including design-build, renovation, and long-term leasing contracts for federal buildings. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver secure, sustainable, and functionally efficient workspaces for federal agencies through strategic procurement of commercial and institutional construction services. She coordinates with project managers, engineers, and legal advisors to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations, contract administration standards, and sustainability requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable, Pope engages with a broad spectrum of qualified contractors specializing in federal construction delivery, including general contractors, architectural and engineering firms, and construction managers. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based contracting, and rigorous contractor performance evaluation to ensure quality, timeliness, and compliance with federal building codes and environmental standards. Pope’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories, though she remains fully compliant with all small business participation requirements under FAR Part 19. Her approach prioritizes value, capability, and past performance over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies within commercial and institutional construction, encompassing NAICS categories related to building construction, renovation, and facility maintenance services. She specializes in complex, multi-year projects involving energy-efficient retrofits, ADA compliance upgrades, and infrastructure modernization, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal construction standards, building systems integration, and sustainable design practices.
