Kristin O’Neil supports the PBS R1 National Contracts Team within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, playing a key role in the strategic procurement of construction, design, and facility support services essential to modernizing federal infrastructure. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building projects, including architectural planning, engineering services, and specialized building systems installations. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities through compliant, competitive contracting under FAR Part 36 and related construction-specific regulations. She routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring coordination across technical, environmental, and regulatory stakeholders to ensure alignment with federal building standards. While specific contractor names are not available, O’Neil’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse vendor base, including general contractors, design-build firms, and technical service providers specializing in facility modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes open competition with a strong preference for small business participation, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated construction and facility management solutions under performance-based contract structures. O’Neil demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic goals, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted competition (73%), yet a significant portion—nearly a quarter—reserved for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Women-Owned Small Businesses also receive targeted consideration, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented vendors. Her contracting behavior aligns with GSA’s broader objectives to enhance small business inclusion without compromising competition or delivery timelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 531320 (Real Estate Appraisers), indicating deep involvement in specialized mechanical, electrical, and building systems installation, as well as property valuation and site assessment services. Additional activity in janitorial services (561720) and real estate brokerage (531210) underscores her role in supporting the full spectrum of facility operations, from capital construction to ongoing maintenance and asset management.
