Judith A Tomlinson

Judith E. Tomlinson serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she leads the acquisition of mission-critical federal construction and design services across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing infrastructure resilience, energy efficiency, and operational continuity. She manages a diverse portfolio of design-build, construction, and professional services contracts, primarily focused on the development and modernization of federal buildings, with an emphasis on integrated project delivery and sustainable building practices. Tomlinson cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of contractors, including large-scale construction firms, engineering consultants, and specialty trade subcontractors. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability through robust contract administration. She frequently engages with firms experienced in federal facility standards, including those with expertise in seismic retrofitting, high-performance building systems, and federal security protocols. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 22% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a dedicated focus on service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), accounting for nearly 3% of her portfolio. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she strategically leverages socioeconomic programs to expand market access and foster vendor diversity. Tomlinson’s primary procurement focus lies in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and specialized trades including electrical and roofing systems. Her technical expertise spans the full lifecycle of federal construction projects—from schematic design through commissioning—ensuring compliance with GSA’s High-Performance Green Buildings program and federal building codes. She is recognized for her proficiency in managing complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions that integrate architecture, engineering, and construction management to deliver mission-ready federal facilities.
