Contracting Officer

Contracting Officer serves as a key procurement leader within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R8 Acquisition Management Division under the General Services Administration, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of facility-related contracts to support federal infrastructure across the nation. Their role encompasses the acquisition of design-build construction, facility modernization, and integrated building services for federal buildings and land ports of entry. They execute complex procurements under FAR Part 36 and FAR Part 13, utilizing both competitive and non-competitive mechanisms to ensure operational readiness, safety, and efficiency of federal property portfolios. Their acquisitions are predominantly centered on real estate and facility support services, requiring deep technical understanding of building systems, maintenance protocols, and infrastructure lifecycle management. The Contracting Officer maintains consistent relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These vendors are regularly engaged for facility maintenance, security enhancements, site development, and building operations support. The working relationships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capability in federal facility environments, often resulting in repeat engagements and task order awards under blanket purchase agreements or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. This Contracting Officer does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB certifications, reflecting a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic criteria. This approach aligns with the agency’s focus on mission-critical infrastructure delivery where specialized expertise is paramount. The primary NAICS codes under their purview are 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate), indicating a strong specialization in real property management, facility leasing, and ancillary real estate services. Their technical domain expertise includes building operations, maintenance contracting, property management systems, and infrastructure support services essential to sustaining federal facilities nationwide.
