Daria Sawyer

Daria Sawyer supports the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R3 Acquisition Management Division within the General Services Administration, where she plays a critical role in executing strategic procurement for federal facility operations across Region 3. She manages the acquisition of real estate-related services and construction support, ensuring federal workspaces meet safety, functionality, and efficiency standards. Her work centers on facility maintenance, infrastructure modernization, and site development, with a focus on contract vehicles that deliver long-term operational value. She handles complex, multi-year procurements under FAR Part 36 and related construction and service contracting frameworks, often coordinating with architects, engineers, and facility managers to align procurement outcomes with agency mission needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Daria’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with specialized service providers in plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and site preparation sectors. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships with firms capable of delivering integrated facility services, including security systems, surveying, and food service support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, quality assurance, and compliance with federal building codes, encouraging vendors to demonstrate technical proficiency and operational reliability through competitive bidding and task order execution. Daria’s contracting portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a preference for full and open competition to ensure broad market participation. However, she consistently allocates 12.5% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business inclusion without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her approach aligns with GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals, balancing competitiveness with equitable access for small businesses across all eligible categories. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), accounting for half of her activity, followed by site preparation, surveying, security systems, and food service contracts. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in facility systems integration, infrastructure readiness, and service lifecycle management for federal buildings. She operates at the intersection of construction, operations, and facility sustainment, ensuring procurements support the long-term resilience of federal real property.
