Erin Turientine

Erin Turientine serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical facility support services for federal buildings nationwide. Responsible for executing full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR Part 19, she ensures compliance with federal infrastructure modernization priorities, focusing primarily on interior renovations and building systems maintenance. Her work directly supports the General Services Administration’s mandate to sustain and upgrade the federal government’s physical footprint through efficient, transparent, and mission-aligned contracting practices. Turientine specializes in service-based acquisitions that enable continuous operations in federal facilities, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements. Her primary contractor relationship is with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based firm with deep expertise in facility support and janitorial operations. Turientine maintains a consistent, long-term contracting pattern with this vendor, reflecting a trusted partnership built on reliable service delivery and adherence to federal facility standards. This relationship underscores her preference for established small business contractors with proven track records in federal building operations, fostering stability and accountability in mission-critical service execution. Turientine demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She systematically prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged firms, aligning with the Public Buildings Service’s equity and inclusion goals. Her contracting patterns consistently exclude large business participation, reinforcing a deliberate strategy to cultivate and sustain small business capacity within the federal infrastructure support ecosystem. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 561720 — Janitorial Services — encompassing comprehensive cleaning, waste management, restroom sanitation, and facility hygiene support for federal buildings. Turientine’s technical expertise lies in defining performance specifications for custodial services, integrating sustainability standards, and ensuring compliance with OSHA and GSA facility maintenance protocols. She is a recognized specialist in service-based facility operations contracting, ensuring clean, safe, and functional environments across the federal estate.
