Jessica Garrett serves as a procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration, where she plays a critical role in managing federal facility infrastructure acquisitions. She oversees the planning and execution of contracts for building systems modernization, maintenance, and construction projects essential to sustaining mission-critical federal operations. Her work directly supports PBS’s mandate to ensure safe, efficient, and high-performing federal buildings, with a focus on capital improvement initiatives that enhance energy efficiency, accessibility, and operational resilience.

Garrett maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of experienced construction contractors, including Northland/Cianbro Joint Venture, Trade Center Management Associates L.L.C., Volmar Construction Inc., Grunley Construction Co., Inc., and Atkinson/Clark Joint Venture. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in large-scale federal building projects, particularly those capable of delivering integrated services across mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with federal construction standards, and consistent delivery on schedule and scope. Garrett’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides utilized in her portfolio. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified large and mid-sized contractors capable of meeting the technical and scale demands of federal infrastructure projects. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her contracting patterns, all awards are awarded under full and open competition in accordance with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), indicating deep expertise in building systems integration and site infrastructure development. She regularly manages contracts for HVAC upgrades, plumbing retrofits, site grading, drainage systems, and roadway improvements tied to federal facility expansions or renovations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in construction lifecycle management and federal facility compliance standards.
