Christina Almond

Christina Almond serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s Acquisition Management Division at the General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical federal facility construction and renovation services. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver secure, sustainable, and high-performing federal buildings, including courthouses and office complexes. She specializes in full lifecycle project delivery, overseeing design-build, construction management, and integrated services contracts that ensure compliance with federal building standards and energy efficiency requirements. Her portfolio is centered on complex, high-stakes infrastructure projects requiring rigorous oversight and coordination across multiple federal stakeholders. Almond maintains a primary working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted contractor with demonstrated expertise in commercial and institutional building construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance reliability, safety compliance, and adherence to federal construction codes. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 36, prioritizing technical competence, past performance, and workforce safety records to ensure project success. Her contracting activity is fully aligned with small business set-aside requirements under FAR 19.5, with 100% of her acquisitions reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the federal construction sector, ensuring that small, locally based firms have equitable access to high-value infrastructure contracts. She actively promotes small business participation through pre-solicitation outreach and mentorship initiatives. Almond’s procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, encompassing new construction, major renovations, and facility modernization of federal buildings. Her technical expertise lies in managing integrated construction services—including structural, mechanical, electrical, and sustainable building systems—ensuring projects meet GSA’s high-performance building standards and net-zero energy goals.
