Jacqueline Pelullo

Jacqueline Pelullo serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R6 Construction Acquisition Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical federal construction projects. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of design-build, construction management, and renovation contracts for federal facilities, ensuring compliance with federal building codes, sustainability standards, and security requirements. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mandate to deliver safe, efficient, and modern infrastructure for federal agencies, managing complex procurements that integrate architectural, engineering, and construction services under FAR and FAR Part 36 guidelines. Pelullo collaborates with a diverse pool of prime contractors specializing in federal construction, including large general contractors with proven track records in public-sector projects and specialized firms with expertise in historic preservation, seismic retrofitting, and energy-efficient building systems. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance oversight, proactive pre-solicitation engagement, and structured debriefings to foster transparency and continuous improvement in contractor performance. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified and capable firms regardless of socioeconomic status. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she ensures all contractors meet stringent qualification and bonding standards to safeguard public investment. Pelullo’s technical domain centers on NAICS categories related to heavy and civil engineering construction, building construction, and specialized trade contracting. She routinely procures services involving structural renovations, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and sustainable building retrofits aligned with GSA’s Net Zero and Green Building initiatives. Her expertise lies in managing high-stakes, multi-year infrastructure projects requiring deep coordination between design teams, federal stakeholders, and construction vendors to deliver mission-ready facilities.
