Emily Friddle

Emily Friddle serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within PBS Facility Management East – Branch A, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. She provides critical administrative and operational support to the contracting team responsible for managing facility services across federal infrastructure. Her role centers on facilitating the acquisition lifecycle for custodial and food service contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and coordinating documentation, vendor communications, and contract administration tasks. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays an essential part in enabling timely and efficient contract awards that sustain clean, safe, and functional environments in high-traffic federal buildings. Friddle collaborates closely with a network of established service providers specializing in janitorial and food service operations. Though no primary contractors are designated by award value, she engages regularly with vendors holding proven track records in federal facility support, including both large national service contractors and regional providers with experience in GSA-managed environments. Her working relationships emphasize reliability, performance metrics, and adherence to federal service standards, fostering consistent vendor engagement across multiple contract vehicles. Friddle’s procurement activities reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on broad market access rather than socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s operational need for scalable, high-volume service delivery. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in procurement strategy, all vendors are evaluated on technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. Her technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 722310—Food Service Contractors—reflecting deep specialization in managing cafeteria operations, meal delivery systems, and related support services for federal workforces. She is well-versed in the regulatory and logistical demands of feeding large, diverse populations in secure federal facilities, ensuring services meet nutritional, safety, and accessibility standards.
