Denise B Gilson

Denise B. Gilson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts requiring technical oversight and performance-based management, with a focus on maintenance, repair, and facility-related support functions. Gilson consistently applies sound contracting practices to achieve value, accountability, and mission readiness across a diverse range of operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Gilson maintains a broad network of vendors servicing commercial and industrial equipment, building systems, and facility operations. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven technical capabilities in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and pest control disciplines. She engages both large-capacity contractors and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that emphasize quality, responsiveness, and regulatory compliance. Her working relationships are characterized by clear communication, adherence to performance metrics, and proactive contract administration. Gilson’s contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a preference for broad market access. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 7.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility without compromising competitive integrity or mission requirements. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair (811310), Plumbing and HVAC Contracting (238220), Electrical Contracting (238210), Engineering Services (541330), and Pest Control Services (561710). These reflect a specialization in facility infrastructure support, preventive maintenance, and technical services critical to operational continuity. Gilson’s expertise lies in procuring complex, performance-driven services requiring technical specifications, qualified labor, and compliance with safety and environmental standards.
