Florine L. Rhodes

Florine L. Rhodes serves as a Contracting Officer for the PBS R2 Repair and Alterations Branch within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of facility maintenance, renovation, and construction services essential to preserving federal infrastructure nationwide. Her portfolio centers on ensuring the safety, functionality, and operational readiness of federal buildings through timely and compliant contract execution. She routinely handles complex construction and facilities support contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, coordinating with design teams, project managers, and technical evaluators to deliver mission-critical repairs and modernizations while adhering to federal standards for historic preservation and energy efficiency. Rhodes maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including F.L. Pinto Companies, LLC, RAAD Construction Group LLC, Southeast Restoration, Inc., Muba Construction, Corp., and SDPM JFM Construcciones Joint Venture. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on experienced firms with demonstrated capabilities in commercial and institutional construction, restoration, and facility services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous pre-award evaluations, and post-award oversight to ensure quality and compliance across multi-year project lifecycles. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with half of her awards issued as open competitions and the remaining split evenly between 8(a) competed set-asides and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores her active promotion of small business participation, particularly among disadvantaged and socially and economically disadvantaged firms, while maintaining competitive integrity and value-driven outcomes. Rhodes specializes in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant focus on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services).
