Janet Coker

Janet Coker serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R3 Acquisition Management Division North, overseeing the strategic acquisition of construction and professional services to support the modernization and maintenance of federal facilities across the Mid-Atlantic region. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s mission to ensure the safety, functionality, and resilience of government-owned infrastructure through compliant, performance-based contracting. Her portfolio primarily includes complex, high-stakes acquisitions for commercial and institutional building construction, as well as engineering services critical to facility upgrades, energy efficiency retrofits, and seismic and environmental compliance. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation development to award and closeout—ensuring alignment with federal regulations and agency priorities. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Janet maintains consistent relationships with a diverse pool of qualified vendors, including general contractors with specialized experience in federal facility work and engineering firms skilled in structural, mechanical, and sustainability-focused design. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical competence and past performance, with an emphasis on firms capable of delivering complex, multi-phase projects under strict federal oversight. Janet demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, ensuring equitable access to federal construction and engineering markets. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she manages new builds, renovations, and tenant improvements, and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures architectural, structural, and MEP design services. Her technical expertise centers on building code compliance, sustainable design standards, and resilience-based construction practices essential to federal facility modernization.
