Gloria J. Gallegos

Gloria Gallegos serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to secure safe, functional, and efficient federal facilities nationwide. She manages the full lifecycle of construction and facility support contracts, with a primary focus on design-build and integrated service acquisitions for commercial and institutional buildings. Her work directly supports the modernization and operational readiness of federal buildings and land ports of entry, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and performance-based standards. Gallegos maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in facility maintenance, site development, and security-integrated construction services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, timely delivery, and adherence to technical specifications, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 20% competed specifically under the 8(a) program. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses and promoting equitable access to federal construction contracts. Her procurement strategy consistently prioritizes small business participation while maintaining rigorous standards for quality and capability. Her technical expertise is centered exclusively on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she procures integrated services spanning new construction, renovation, facility modernization, and related site development. She specializes in managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects requiring coordination among architects, engineers, and trade contractors to deliver mission-critical infrastructure for federal operations.
