Katherine R Miles

Katherine R. Miles serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R6 Services Acquisition Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in securing essential facilities support services to maintain the operational integrity of federal buildings. Her portfolio centers on procuring custodial, landscaping, and building operations services through competitive and non-competitive acquisition methods, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-critical service standards. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from requirements development and market research to award and administration—supporting the agency’s mandate to deliver safe, clean, and efficiently maintained federal infrastructure. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Katherine collaborates with a diverse range of service providers, including small businesses, mid-sized contractors, and specialized facilities management firms. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced vendors with proven capabilities in federal facilities support, fostering long-term performance-based relationships grounded in quality, accountability, and compliance with service level agreements. Katherine demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with the majority of her acquisitions conducted under open competition (77.8%), while actively promoting small business participation through 8(a) competed set-asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, each accounting for 11.1% of her portfolio. Her approach balances broad market access with targeted opportunities to advance federal small business goals under the Small Business Act. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which constitutes two-thirds of her acquisitions, supplemented by solid waste collection (562111) and materials recovery facilities (562920). This specialization underscores her expertise in environmental services and facility operations, ensuring that federal buildings meet stringent health, safety, and sustainability standards through reliable, performance-driven contracts.
