Cynthia D Barzey

Cynthia D. Barzey serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing construction and specialty trade acquisitions within a federal agency, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and mission-driven infrastructure needs. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—focusing on capital improvement projects and facility modernization efforts. Her portfolio centers on industrial and commercial construction, with a strong emphasis on delivering safe, efficient, and code-compliant facilities. Barzey’s work supports the agency’s broader infrastructure objectives by aligning procurement strategy with operational requirements and long-term planning goals. Barzey maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of contractors specializing in building construction and trade services. She routinely engages with general contractors, electrical and roofing subcontractors, and specialty trade firms, fostering transparent and competitive bidding processes. Her approach emphasizes fair competition while encouraging contractor accountability, performance metrics, and adherence to safety and quality standards. She works closely with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to ensure project success and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 73.5% of awards issued as non-set-aside actions. However, she demonstrates a meaningful commitment to socioeconomic programs, consistently allocating 17.6% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with additional support for 8(a) competed contracts and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while advancing federal small business participation goals. Barzey’s procurement focus is concentrated in industrial building construction (NAICS 236210), with significant activity in electrical contracting (238210) and other specialty trade work (238990). She also regularly procures roofing services and architectural design support. Her expertise lies in complex, multi-trade construction projects requiring coordination across disciplines, making her a strategic resource for mission-critical facility development and maintenance initiatives.
