Elizabeth M Vitale

Elizabeth M. Vitale serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R11 Special Programs Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages complex acquisition programs critical to the operational integrity of federal facilities in the National Capital Region. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of construction, maintenance, and facility support services for high-profile government buildings, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission of modernization, safety, and energy efficiency. She routinely handles negotiated procurements under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, task orders, and performance-based service agreements, with a focus on mission-critical infrastructure sustainment. Vitale cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in federal facility operations, including firms with expertise in building systems integration, environmental compliance, and facility management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages both large prime contractors and qualified small businesses to deliver integrated solutions across multiple contract vehicles. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term service reliability, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency and accountability. Her set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals: approximately 62% of her awards are competed without set-asides, while 14.3% are reserved for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with additional allocations to 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to promote equitable access without compromising competition or mission readiness. Vitale’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing custodial, security, groundskeeping, and building operations. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 238190 and 238290 for building envelope and equipment installations, as well as environmental consulting (541620) and professional training (611430). Her technical expertise centers on integrated facility management systems, sustainability initiatives, and compliance with federal building codes and energy standards.
