Helen V. DiMonte

Helen V. DiMonte serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements for federal facility modernization and infrastructure support. She manages the full lifecycle of construction and professional services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to maintain and upgrade the nation’s public buildings. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, architectural design, and specialized technical services critical to mission-critical facility operations. DiMonte maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a trusted prime contractor for complex renovation and construction projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with experienced, locally-based vendors capable of delivering high-quality, code-compliant work in occupied federal facilities. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence, often engaging contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 14 and Part 15. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, regularly awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) authorities, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and broad small business participation. DiMonte’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), reflecting her specialization in interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and design-integrated construction projects. She routinely procures services related to HVAC modernization, structural rehabilitation, accessibility compliance, and integrated facility management systems, applying deep domain knowledge in federal construction standards and sustainability requirements.
