Kristin Cusack serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing end-to-end procurement strategies for federal infrastructure projects. Her responsibilities include managing competitive solicitations, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations, and overseeing contract performance for high-priority construction and facility modernization initiatives. She specializes in acquisitions related to land ports of entry, naval installations, and critical federal buildings, with a focus on construction management, structural enhancements, and integrated facility systems. Cusack’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and energy-efficient federal infrastructure through transparent, well-structured contracting practices. Cusack maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J Contractors, Inc., both of whom have demonstrated consistent performance in complex construction and facility support environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative contract administration, performance-based outcomes, and risk mitigation through clear deliverables and quality assurance protocols. She works closely with these prime contractors to ensure alignment with federal standards, timely execution, and adherence to safety and sustainability benchmarks across mission-critical sites. Cusack exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder are open competitions. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without compromising competition or mission readiness. She actively promotes opportunities for small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, ensuring equitable access while maintaining high standards of contractor capability and performance. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 454310 (Real Estate Property Management), reflecting her role in managing facility operations and maintenance services, complemented by significant activity in prefabricated metal building manufacturing (332311), building exterior construction (238190), electrical contracting (238210), and electronic computer manufacturing (334111). This technical diversity underscores her expertise in integrated facility systems, from structural components to building automation and infrastructure modernization.
