Kelly A Rima

Kelly A. Rima serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R8 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions for federal facility infrastructure and operational support services. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal regulations and the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modernized federal buildings and land ports of entry. Her portfolio primarily encompasses design-build construction, facility modernization, and integrated building systems, requiring coordination across technical, legal, and programmatic stakeholders. Rima 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., all of which provide specialized services in construction, security systems, and facility maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships built on compliance, reliability, and technical proficiency in federal facility environments. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability-driven selection rather than socioeconomic targeting. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting practices remain fully compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements under FAR Part 19. Rima’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 333415 (HVAC equipment manufacturing), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 314110 (Carpet and Rug Mills), and 334290 (Communications Equipment Manufacturing). She routinely procures integrated building systems, including HVAC, electrical infrastructure, security communications equipment, and interior finishes, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical specifications and performance standards required for federal facility operations.
