Dan Kenison

Dan Kenison serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service (PBS R10, Code: 47PL04) under the General Services Administration, where he plays a pivotal role in executing facility acquisition strategies that align with federal infrastructure modernization goals. He manages the full lifecycle of construction and renovation contracts for high-visibility, mission-critical federal buildings, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing PBS’s mission to deliver safe, secure, and sustainable workspaces. His acquisitions primarily involve commercial and institutional building construction, encompassing renovation, preservation of historic structures, and infrastructure upgrades that support long-term operational efficiency. Kenison collaborates with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in federal construction, including general contractors, design-build firms, and specialty trades engaged in historic preservation and energy-efficient retrofitting. He fosters collaborative, transparent vendor relationships grounded in performance-based contracting and rigorous compliance oversight, ensuring quality outcomes while maintaining accountability to public stewardship standards. His working relationships emphasize long-term partnerships with firms experienced in navigating the unique constraints of federal facility projects, particularly those involving historic preservation and security-sensitive environments. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Kenison consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 57% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly 29% designated for women-owned small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underserved vendors, with minimal use of unrestricted procurements, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to inclusive economic growth through federal procurement. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where he specializes in complex, multi-phase construction projects involving structural upgrades, mechanical systems modernization, and adaptive reuse of federal properties. He brings deep familiarity with construction standards, building codes, and sustainability requirements critical to federal facility management.
