Jalen Scandrett

Jalen Scandrett serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, supporting the design, construction, and modernization of federal facilities nationwide. Responsible for managing complex construction contracts under the General Services Administration, Scandrett oversees the full lifecycle of commercial and institutional building projects, including design-build delivery methods, facility upgrades, and operational support services for federal buildings and land ports of entry. Their work ensures compliance with federal construction standards while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure. Scandrett maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial construction and site development, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally established firms capable of executing high-integrity construction projects under tight federal timelines. The working relationships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based contract management, and a focus on contractors with proven track records in federal facility delivery. Scandrett’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict adherence to open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This pattern indicates a strategic emphasis on full and open competition to ensure technical excellence and value-driven outcomes, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, the contractor base includes firms of varying sizes, suggesting a performance-driven rather than socioeconomic-driven acquisition strategy. The primary focus of Scandrett’s acquisitions is NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovation, and infrastructure modernization of federal properties. Expertise lies in integrated design-build contracting, facility systems integration, and compliance with GSA and federal building codes, with an emphasis on durable, code-compliant, and operationally resilient infrastructure delivery.
