John C. Sarnoski

John Sarnoski serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and facility support acquisitions critical to federal infrastructure modernization. He manages end-to-end procurement processes for high-priority projects including land ports of entry, naval installations, and other mission-critical federal facilities, ensuring compliance with FAR guidelines and alignment with the agency’s strategic goals of resilience, security, and operational efficiency. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction-manager-at-risk, design-build, and integrated facility services contracts, requiring deep technical oversight and risk mitigation expertise. Sarnoski maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J Contractors, Inc., reflecting a preference for established, high-performing firms with proven track records in federal construction and facility operations. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, contract administration rigor, and collaborative vendor engagement, fostering reliable delivery of complex infrastructure projects under stringent federal standards. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 40% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and additional support for HUBZone, 8(a), and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open competition, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance community economic impact. Sarnoski’s technical focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), which accounts for over one-third of his portfolio, followed by commercial and institutional construction (236220), facilities support services (561210), and electrical contracting (238210). He specializes in procuring integrated building systems, mechanical and HVAC infrastructure, and facility maintenance services, demonstrating expertise in managing multi-trade, performance-driven construction and operations contracts for federal facilities.
