Kimberly A Gelly

Kimberly A. Gelly serves as a Building Management Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in managing facility construction and maintenance acquisitions for high-priority federal infrastructure. Her responsibilities include overseeing the full lifecycle of construction-related procurements, from requirements definition and solicitation development to contract administration, with a focus on land ports of entry, naval installations, and other mission-critical federal buildings. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic goals of modernization, resilience, and operational efficiency in built environments. Gelly maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J Contractors, Inc., partnering primarily with experienced construction managers and specialty trade firms capable of delivering complex, code-compliant facility upgrades. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative contract management, performance-based outcomes, and contractor accountability in high-stakes environments where safety, security, and schedule adherence are paramount. Her contracting portfolio reflects a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 97% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference underscores her dedication to fostering economic opportunity and expanding the federal contractor base among small, locally rooted firms. While service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses receive targeted consideration, the overwhelming majority of awards are reserved for general small businesses, aligning with broader GSA socioeconomic objectives. Her technical focus centers on commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220), electrical systems (238210), and other specialty trade contracting (238990). She routinely procures integrated facility systems requiring coordination across multiple trades, demonstrating deep expertise in construction-phase logistics, building systems integration, and performance-based specification development for federal infrastructure projects.
