Kimberly S. Carson

Kimberly S. Carson supports the acquisition mission of the Public Buildings Service’s R4 (AMD) Acquisition Management Division within the General Services Administration, managing complex procurement actions for federal facility lifecycle services. She oversees the planning and execution of contracts for construction, design, and operational support of mission-critical infrastructure, including courthouses and federal office complexes. Her work ensures alignment with GSA’s strategic goals of sustainability, security, and modernization, focusing on integrated project delivery models that span design-build, professional services, and facility maintenance contracts. Carson maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a key contractor engaged in commercial and institutional building construction and site development. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, locally based vendors with proven capacity in federal facility projects, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability and compliance with federal construction standards. She routinely engages contractors capable of delivering turnkey solutions under integrated project delivery frameworks. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market participation, with the majority of acquisitions conducted as unrestricted procurements (72.7%), while actively supporting small business goals through Total Small Business Set-Asides (18.2%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (9.1%). This balanced strategy ensures competitive rigor while advancing socioeconomic objectives mandated under FAR Part 19. Carson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), reflecting her role in securing workforce development and federal project management training services. She also frequently procures commercial and institutional construction (236220) and real estate appraisal services (531320), demonstrating deep expertise in facility lifecycle management. Additional engagements in technical consulting (541690) and infrastructure support (221210) underscore her cross-domain coordination in delivering secure, high-performance federal facilities.
