Irene Chambers

Irene Chambers serves as a key procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, specifically supporting the PBS R7 Program Support – Capital and IDIQ initiative. She manages complex construction and infrastructure acquisitions focused on the design, construction, and modernization of Land Ports of Entry and related federal facilities nationwide. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and efficient border infrastructure through integrated architectural, engineering, and construction services. Chambers specializes in managing IDIQ contracts and task orders under the 236220 NAICS code, overseeing end-to-end procurement cycles from requirements development to contract award and administration for large-scale commercial and institutional building projects. She maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including PDG, INC. and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, both of which provide specialized expertise in federal facility construction, site development, and infrastructure modernization. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with contractors who demonstrate proven experience in delivering high-security, mission-critical construction projects under stringent federal standards. These relationships are built on technical competency, compliance with federal construction codes, and a track record of on-time, on-scope delivery. Chambers exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster robust small business participation while maintaining competition and technical rigor. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, aligning with GSA’s broader goals to expand opportunities for small and disadvantaged firms in federal infrastructure procurement. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, encompassing the full lifecycle of federal facility projects—from site preparation and structural framing to MEP systems and security integration. She procures services related to design-build delivery, construction management, and sustainable building practices, demonstrating deep domain expertise in federal construction standards, security requirements for border infrastructure, and compliance with federal environmental and accessibility regulations.
