Frank V. Sharshel

Frank V. Sharshel serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R6 Services Acquisition Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical facilities support services for federal buildings nationwide. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific operational standards. Sharshel primarily manages service-based acquisitions focused on custodial, landscaping, and building operations, directly supporting the agency’s mandate to maintain safe, clean, and efficiently functioning federal infrastructure. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Sharshel maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem that includes both large service providers and small business concerns, fostering competitive bidding environments that align with socioeconomic objectives. His working relationships emphasize transparency, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration, particularly with firms capable of delivering integrated facilities management solutions across multiple federal sites. Sharshel demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as set-asides. His contracting patterns include equal allocations to 8(a) competed, Total Small Business Set-Aside, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal opportunities. The majority of his procurements, however, remain open to all competitors, underscoring his emphasis on value-driven outcomes over rigid socioeconomic quotas. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), complemented by significant activity in engineering services (541330) and administrative support (561110, 541611), with niche procurement in moving services (484210). This diverse portfolio highlights his expertise in managing complex, multi-disciplinary service contracts that require coordination across facility operations, environmental compliance, and workforce management domains.
