Jeanne M. Cassidy

Jeanne M. Cassidy serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, part of the General Services Administration. She plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and technical service acquisitions for federal facilities across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—focusing on design-build, renovation, and infrastructure modernization projects that prioritize resilience, energy efficiency, and mission-critical operational continuity. She routinely handles high-stakes procurements requiring integrated technical and construction expertise, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and sustainability mandates. Cassidy collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including specialty trade firms, architectural services providers, and environmental control system manufacturers. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering integrated design-build solutions and specialized construction services. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal facility projects, particularly those demonstrating technical proficiency in weather-resistant construction, energy systems integration, and compliance with GSA’s high-performance building standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation. She does not rely heavily on targeted set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, instead favoring broad small business opportunities that encourage competition among qualified firms while maintaining technical rigor. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and 541310 (Architectural Services), with significant activity in 541990 (Professional Technical Services) and 334512 (Environmental Control Manufacturing). This reflects deep expertise in procuring integrated building systems, specialty construction trades, and technical consulting services essential to modernizing federal infrastructure.
