Judy Parnell

Judith H. Parnell serves as a Senior Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R7 Program Support – Capital and IDIQ office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and professional services acquisitions to support federal border infrastructure and nationwide federal facilities. Her portfolio centers on the design, construction, and modernization of Land Ports of Entry and associated roadway systems, leveraging IDIQ contracts to deliver secure, resilient infrastructure through integrated architectural, engineering, and construction services. She manages full lifecycle procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Parnell maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PDG, INC. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which provide specialized expertise in commercial building construction and site development for federal projects. Her procurement patterns reflect long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms possessing proven capabilities in federal infrastructure delivery, often engaging them across multiple task orders under blanket purchase agreements. These relationships are built on technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and a track record of delivering high-quality, mission-aligned outcomes under stringent security and environmental standards. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic objectives, with nearly half of her awards structured as 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business development and minority-owned enterprise participation. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of 8(a) and total small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden contractor diversity and foster competitive small business growth within the federal construction sector. Parnell’s technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her primary procurement of building systems and structural construction services. She also regularly procures engineering and architectural services under NAICS 541330 and 541310, underscoring her expertise in integrated design-build delivery models and infrastructure modernization projects requiring multidisciplinary technical coordination.
