Christine Allen

Christine Allen supports the Pbs R8 Acquisition Management Division within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a critical role in executing complex procurement strategies for federal facility infrastructure and operational services. She manages acquisitions aligned with the division’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modernized federal buildings and land ports of entry, with a focus on design-build construction, facility modernization, and integrated building services. Her portfolio includes high-stakes, mission-critical contracts requiring technical coordination across architecture, engineering, and facility operations, often involving multi-year, performance-based delivery methods under FAR Part 36 and FAR Part 16. Allen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, security systems, and custom millwork, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in federal facility environments, particularly those capable of delivering integrated solutions under design-build and construction management at-risk contract types. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance accountability across contract life cycles. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with equal portions of awards set aside for total small businesses and women-owned small businesses, alongside an equal share of no-set-aside procurements. This reflects a strategic, flexible approach to small business engagement that prioritizes both socioeconomic goals and mission readiness, without over-reliance on any single set-aside category. Allen’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 561621 (Security Systems Services), 337212 (Custom Architectural Woodwork), and 531320 (Real Estate Appraisal Services). She routinely procures turnkey construction, integrated security systems, precision millwork for historic and federal interiors, and property valuation services to support asset management decisions, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal facility lifecycle procurement.
