Jennifer Wesenberg serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the federal government’s facility modernization mission. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, renovation, and facility support services across federal buildings nationwide, with a strategic focus on interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical operations. Her portfolio encompasses complex, high-stakes acquisitions governed by FAR Part 36 and related construction standards, requiring deep technical knowledge of building codes, project delivery methods, and performance-based service requirements. Wesenberg maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a primary contractor for facility improvement projects under her purview. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships grounded in compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery. She engages with a select group of experienced contractors who demonstrate proven capability in federal facility work, prioritizing reliability and adherence to GSA’s stringent construction and safety protocols. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong but balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 29% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively leverages small business programs to expand vendor diversity and promote economic opportunity within the federal construction and support services sector. Wesenberg’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 722310 (Food Service Contractors), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 561311 (Employment Placement Agencies), and 813920 (Professional Organizations). This reflects a diverse portfolio spanning facility operations support, environmental services, staffing solutions, and specialized technical services critical to sustaining federal infrastructure. Her expertise spans both physical construction and integrated service delivery, making her a key player in holistic facility management procurement.
