Jennifer Dunne serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing federal construction and facility support acquisitions under the General Services Administration. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure projects, including interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and facility operations services. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to modernize and maintain the federal government’s physical infrastructure, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and prioritizing efficiency, sustainability, and workforce safety in all contracting actions. Dunne maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for commercial and institutional building projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance, fostering collaboration with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in federal facility standards. She engages primarily with firms experienced in complex, multi-phase construction and facility maintenance environments, ensuring alignment with GSA’s quality and delivery expectations. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Dunne consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and 8(a) set-asides to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal contracting. Her portfolio demonstrates a balanced commitment to both competitive small business programs and open acquisition pathways. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant focus on roofing (238160), janitorial services (561720), and architectural design (541310). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services that support operational continuity, ensuring that all acquisitions meet federal building codes, accessibility standards, and energy efficiency requirements.
