Hunter Van Horn

Hunter Van Horn serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the federal government’s infrastructure modernization mission. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for facility support services, interior renovations, and building systems upgrades, ensuring compliance with FAR and GSA policy. His portfolio centers on mission-critical projects that maintain and enhance the operational integrity of federal buildings nationwide, with a focus on integrated facility services and technical infrastructure improvements. Van Horn maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a trusted prime contractor for complex renovation and site development tasks. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, often engaging firms with proven expertise in federal facility operations. He prioritizes collaboration with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in building systems integration and sustainable renovation practices, fostering accountability and quality outcomes across contract performance. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating strong support for small business participation. While 60% of his actions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small firms across diverse socioeconomic categories, including SDVOSB and HUBZone entities.

His expertise ensures that acquisitions align with both operational needs and long-term infrastructure resilience goals.
