Christina Niemi serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and facility modernization contracts for federal buildings and land ports of entry. Responsible for full lifecycle procurement—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainably maintained federal infrastructure. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on commercial and institutional building construction, managing design-build and integrated project delivery contracts that require coordination among architects, engineers, and general contractors to meet stringent federal standards. Niemi 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 support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to federal facility needs. She actively cultivates collaboration with contractors who demonstrate proven expertise in federal construction environments and a track record of on-time, quality delivery. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Niemi exclusively utilizes 8(a) competed set-asides, ensuring that all her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. This unwavering commitment reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s small business goals and fosters meaningful opportunities for certified 8(a) firms to participate in high-impact federal infrastructure projects. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she specializes in procuring comprehensive construction services including new builds, renovations, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, and site infrastructure development. She brings deep familiarity with federal construction codes, sustainable building practices, and integrated project delivery models essential to modernizing the federal real estate portfolio.
