Deb Stigen

Deborah A. Stigen serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she leads the procurement of mission-critical infrastructure and facility support services for federal buildings and land ports of entry nationwide. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s goals of safety, efficiency, and modernization. She specializes in integrated design-build projects, facility modernization, and comprehensive building services, frequently managing complex, multi-disciplinary contracts that require coordination among architects, engineers, and construction firms. Stigen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., all of whom provide specialized expertise in construction, security systems, and facility operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and technical capability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on accountability and regulatory compliance. These relationships reflect a preference for experienced firms with demonstrated success in federal facility environments. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside conditions. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures equitable access for all qualified vendors while prioritizing mission outcomes and value delivery. Stigen’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541310 (Architectural Services), and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), reflecting her deep expertise in design-build delivery, building systems integration, and operational maintenance support. She routinely manages contracts for new construction, renovation, security upgrades, and facility management services, requiring technical fluency in building codes, sustainability standards, and federal facility requirements.
