Cynthia Obermeyer

Cynthia Obermeyer serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through transparent, competitive contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily consists of design-build, construction management, and renovation contracts for non-residential facilities, requiring deep familiarity with FAR clauses, performance-based specifications, and construction-specific contract types such as fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements. She plays a pivotal role in translating facility needs into legally sound, deliverable-driven contracts that support infrastructure modernization and operational readiness. Cynthia maintains a broad and competitive contractor base, engaging with general contractors, specialty construction firms, and professional service providers across the built environment sector. Her procurement approach emphasizes open competition, rigorous source selection, and contractor performance evaluation. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she consistently fosters relationships with firms demonstrating proven technical capability, safety compliance, and past performance in commercial and institutional construction. Her working relationships are characterized by clarity of expectations, timely communication, and adherence to contract administration best practices. Cynthia’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing market participation without socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing technical merit and value over demographic classifications. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures equitable access for all qualified vendors, aligning with agency-wide goals for efficient and transparent procurement. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for offices, educational buildings, healthcare facilities, and public service infrastructure. She specializes in procuring complex construction services requiring coordination of architectural, engineering, and mechanical systems, demonstrating expertise in construction specifications, bid evaluation criteria, and post-award oversight of contractor compliance with building codes and safety standards.
