Georgann E Butler

Georgann E. Butler serves as a Contracting Officer and Contracting Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She primarily handles complex construction and professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on commercial and institutional building projects and architectural design services. Her work supports mission-critical infrastructure development and facility modernization efforts, requiring precise application of cost principles, risk management, and performance-based contracting methodologies. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms specializing in commercial construction, architectural design, and creative services. She maintains a vendor ecosystem composed of established contractors with proven performance in building construction and design disciplines, alongside small businesses that meet technical and compliance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and accountability through robust contract clauses and post-award oversight. Georgann’s set-aside preferences reflect a predominantly open competition environment, with 94.7% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation, allocating 5.3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This indicates a balanced approach—prioritizing broad competition while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to compete on a level playing field, without reliance on specialized programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for nearly 80% of her acquisitions, followed by NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and NAICS 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers). She routinely procures design-build services, construction management, facility renovations, and creative support for government facilities, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with building codes, construction methodologies, and design deliverables required for public infrastructure projects.
