Kiersten S. Mathews

Kiersten S. Mathews serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s Acquisition Management Division, supporting the General Services Administration’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities. She manages complex construction and support service acquisitions, primarily focused on the design, renovation, and maintenance of courthouses and federal office complexes. Her work ensures compliance with federal construction standards and integrates lifecycle management principles into contracting decisions, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities of modernization and sustainability. Mathews maintains consistent working relationships with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted contractor specializing in commercial and institutional building construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and collaborative vendor partnerships, fostering reliable delivery of mission-critical infrastructure projects. She engages with a mix of large and small business contractors, prioritizing technical competency and past performance while ensuring adherence to federal acquisition regulations. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable portion reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented contractors in the federal construction sector. Mathews’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her expertise in managing large-scale facility projects. She also procures specialized services in security systems and independent design and artistic services, indicating a nuanced understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of federal building programs. Her technical domain expertise spans construction management, facility modernization, and integrated support services essential to maintaining the federal government’s built environment.
