Daria Giannotti

Daria Giannotti serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R3 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she leads the acquisition of real estate and facility-related services to support federal operations across Region 3. Her portfolio encompasses the full lifecycle procurement of commercial and institutional construction, facility maintenance, architectural design, and environmental consulting services. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modern federal workspaces through compliant, strategic contracting that aligns with FAR guidelines and GSA’s sustainability and resilience objectives. Giannotti collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including large prime builders, specialized engineering firms, and small business subcontractors, to execute complex facility projects. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting, integrated project delivery, and rigorous contract administration to ensure compliance with quality, safety, and timeliness standards. She routinely engages with firms possessing expertise in federal facility standards, including GSA’s Design Excellence and Sustainability Initiatives. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Giannotti maintains a consistent 10% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to foster small business participation. She actively encourages small business prime contracting and subcontracting opportunities, particularly among firms certified under the 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs, though no single socioeconomic category dominates her award profile. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in facilities support services (561210), architectural services (541310), and environmental consulting (541620). She specializes in procurements involving building modernization, energy efficiency retrofits, ADA compliance upgrades, and integrated facility management services, reflecting deep technical knowledge of federal building codes and lifecycle asset management.
