Chad Andrews

Chad Andrews serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R8 Acquisition Management Division under the General Services Administration, overseeing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services for federal facilities nationwide. His role centers on managing design-build and facility modernization contracts that ensure the safety, functionality, and operational efficiency of federal buildings and land ports of entry. He specializes in end-to-end procurement processes for complex construction projects, from solicitation through contract award and performance oversight, with a focus on integrated project delivery methods that align with GSA’s mission of sustainable and resilient infrastructure. Andrews maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., all of which provide specialized construction, site development, and facility maintenance services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established small business vendors with proven track records in federal construction environments, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability and compliance with federal building codes and security standards. He exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring all construction solicitations are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with no preference for specific socioeconomic categories beyond general small business eligibility. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity within the construction sector while maintaining rigorous performance expectations. His procurement focus is entirely aligned with NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new construction, renovations, and system upgrades for federal facilities. He specializes in procuring services involving structural work, mechanical and electrical integration, accessibility compliance, and security-enhanced infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal construction standards and facility lifecycle management.
