Joseph Pastrana

Joseph M. Pastrana serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a critical role in executing complex construction and facility support acquisitions for federal buildings and land ports of entry. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation through contract award and administration—he specializes in design-build and integrated facility modernization contracts that ensure the safety, functionality, and operational efficiency of federal infrastructure. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver mission-critical physical assets through compliant, transparent, and strategically aligned contracting practices. Pastrana maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., who provide specialized services in commercial construction, security systems integration, site development, and facility maintenance. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with firms possessing proven expertise in federal building environments, often requiring stringent compliance with GSA standards and federal facility security protocols. His approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability throughout contract execution. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open, no-set-aside procurements (60.7%), Pastrana demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 32.1% of awards allocated through 8(a) competed contracts and an additional 7.1% under total small business set-asides per FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while maintaining competitive rigor and mission readiness. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for nearly 68% of his portfolio, supplemented by architectural services (541310) and facility maintenance (811310). This specialization underscores his technical expertise in integrated construction delivery, building systems modernization, and facility lifecycle support within the federal real property domain.
