Heather L. Simpson serves as Supervisory Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where she oversees the end-to-end procurement of construction, facility support, and environmental services for high-priority federal infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on securing secure, resilient, and efficient government buildings—including land ports of entry and naval installations—through complex construction-manager-at-risk and design-build contracts. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to modernize critical infrastructure through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contracting approaches. Simpson maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J CONTRACTORS, INC., reflecting a preference for established, high-performing joint ventures and general contractors with proven track records in federal construction and facility maintenance. Her contracting patterns emphasize collaboration with firms capable of delivering integrated services across multiple disciplines, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and technical proficiency. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 8.3% designated for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small and veteran-owned firms within the federal construction and facility services ecosystem. Simpson’s technical focus spans NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 561730 (Landscaping Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 561621 (Security Systems Services), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to facility modernization. She routinely procures integrated solutions combining civil construction, environmental remediation, security system installation, and landscape management, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of infrastructure development and operational resilience.
