Carolyn Clements

Carolyn Clements serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R3 Acquisition Management Division South, supporting the General Services Administration’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities across the Mid-Atlantic region. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for complex construction, architectural and engineering services, and facility operations contracts, ensuring compliance with federal standards and alignment with long-term infrastructure goals. Her work directly enables the modernization and maintenance of federal buildings, coordinating with project managers, engineers, and stakeholders to translate facility needs into legally sound, performance-based solicitations. Clements collaborates with a broad spectrum of contractors, including large prime firms with expertise in federal construction and design-build delivery methods, as well as specialized firms in building systems integration, energy efficiency retrofits, and environmental remediation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides currently in use, indicating a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective solutions regardless of business size. She maintains consistent, transparent vendor engagement through pre-solicitation outreach and post-award performance evaluations. Her procurement strategy prioritizes full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her current portfolio, she ensures all vendors—regardless of size—are evaluated on equal footing using standardized evaluation criteria. Clements specializes in procuring services under NAICS codes related to construction management, architectural and engineering design, and facility maintenance, with particular expertise in federal building modernization, sustainable retrofitting, and lifecycle asset management. Her domain knowledge spans building information modeling (BIM), energy performance contracting, and federal construction codes, enabling her to structure solicitations that drive innovation while maintaining compliance with GSA and federal facility standards.
