Keith R. Goodsell

Keith R. Goodsell serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure contracts for federal facilities across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with mission-critical objectives. His portfolio centers on design-build and construction management procurements for secure, energy-efficient, and resilient federal buildings, with a focus on integrated project delivery methods that enhance operational continuity and sustainability. Goodsell works closely with design teams, construction contractors, and technical advisors to deliver high-performance facilities that meet stringent federal standards. Goodsell cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, electrical systems, and HVAC installation. He engages primarily with firms possessing proven experience in federal construction environments, emphasizing performance-based contracting and risk-sharing mechanisms inherent in design-build delivery. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in remote and harsh-environment construction, as well as those capable of integrating sustainable building technologies. His contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 90.5% of procurements conducted as unrestricted competitions. However, he actively supports small business participation through targeted total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, each accounting for 4.8% of his awards, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19. Goodsell’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in electrical (238210) and HVAC (238220) contracting. He also regularly procures engineering services (541330) and specialized IT support (541519) to enable smart building systems and facility modernization, demonstrating deep technical fluency in integrated facility delivery and infrastructure resilience.
