Deborah A 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 critical infrastructure and facility support services for federal buildings and land ports of entry. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of acquisition management—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of safe, efficient, and modernized federal facilities. She primarily manages design-build, construction, and facility modernization contracts, often integrating architectural, engineering, and building systems services into comprehensive delivery models. 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 have demonstrated reliability in delivering high-quality construction and maintenance services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in federal facility projects, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. These relationships are typically formalized through multiple-award task order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity mechanisms to support responsive, mission-critical work. Her procurement strategy shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and operational readiness over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s focus on mission-critical infrastructure delivery. Stigen’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and architectural services (541310). She routinely acquires integrated design-build solutions, structural renovations, glazing systems, and water supply infrastructure upgrades, demonstrating deep expertise in complex, multi-disciplinary facility projects requiring coordination between construction, MEP systems, and compliance with federal building codes.
