Christine S. Kelly

Christine S. Kelly serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R11 Construction Services Division Center 2 (47PM02), where she manages mission-critical acquisitions for federal construction and facilities modernization across the National Capital Region. Her portfolio centers on integrated design-build contracts, renovation projects, and long-term facility support services essential to maintaining high-visibility federal campuses. Kelly plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s strategic shift toward performance-based, whole-life-cycle procurement, ensuring compliance with FAR and GSA-specific construction directives while fostering innovation in delivery methods. Her contractor relationships are primarily with large-scale commercial builders and design firms experienced in federal construction standards, particularly those capable of delivering complex design-build solutions under FAR Part 36. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in federal infrastructure delivery, including those with demonstrated experience in sustainable building practices and integrated project delivery (IPD) models. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with strong past performance records in public sector construction and a commitment to quality assurance and safety compliance. Kelly’s procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 94.4% of her awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the scale and complexity of the projects she manages. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 5.6% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with secondary emphasis on architectural services (541310) and real estate support activities (531390). She specializes in procuring comprehensive construction services—including site development, structural upgrades, and facility modernization—requiring deep technical knowledge of federal building codes, ADA compliance, and sustainable design standards.
