Cecilia P. Saylor

Cecilia P. Saylor serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing federal construction and facility support acquisitions under the General Services Administration. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for projects centered on interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical infrastructure modernization. She ensures compliance with FAR regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goals of enhancing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of federal buildings nationwide. Saylor maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for commercial and institutional building projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and regulatory compliance, fostering reliable delivery of complex facility services. She engages with a mix of large and small business contractors, prioritizing transparency, competitive bidding, and contract performance oversight to uphold public trust and fiscal accountability. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 42% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 4.8% allocated to HUBZone firms. While nearly half of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and geographically targeted businesses within the federal construction sector. Saylor’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with additional activity in architectural services (541310), building maintenance (561790), and specialized technical services (541990). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services, including electrical systems upgrades, structural renovations, and professional design support, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal building codes, life-cycle asset management, and construction delivery methods such as design-bid-build and design-build.
