Kevin P. Gilday

Kevin P. Gilday serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R9 AMD Capital Projects unit, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction acquisitions for mission-critical federal facilities across the Western United States. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement activities for commercial and institutional building projects, including courthouses and land ports of entry, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in infrastructure resilience and modernization. His work directly supports the General Services Administration’s mandate to deliver secure, high-performance government buildings through competitive, transparent contracting practices. Gilday collaborates with a broad spectrum of prime contractors specializing in large-scale construction, including firms with expertise in federal courthouse design, seismic retrofitting, and sustainable building technologies. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with experienced general contractors, construction managers, and design-build teams capable of delivering complex, high-security facilities under stringent federal standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, rigorous technical evaluations, and strong contractor accountability throughout project execution. Gilday’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified and capable firms regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with the scale and complexity of the projects under his purview. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, his contracting decisions remain compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations. His primary focus lies in NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where he procures comprehensive construction services including new builds, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades. He specializes in projects requiring advanced security systems, energy-efficient design, and resilience upgrades under the Inflation Reduction Act, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal construction standards and building code compliance.
