Ky-Giao Nguyen-Zubroski

Ky-Giao Nguyen-Zubroski serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R7 Energy & Acquisition Support unit of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where they oversee the acquisition of energy efficiency and building systems modernization solutions. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance federal facility sustainability through performance-based contracting mechanisms, particularly Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs). They manage complex, long-term acquisitions focused on utility-scale infrastructure upgrades, including electric power distribution systems, HVAC modernization, and automated environmental controls, ensuring compliance with federal energy mandates and lifecycle cost savings objectives. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Nguyen-Zubroski maintains strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in energy infrastructure, including electrical and HVAC contractors, as well as manufacturers of commercial-grade environmental control systems. Their procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to deliver measurable energy reductions and operational efficiencies under guaranteed savings models. Working relationships are built on technical rigor, compliance with FAR Part 23 energy requirements, and adherence to performance metrics tied to ESPC deliverables. Nguyen-Zubroski demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 16.1% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides (such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB) are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor participation and foster innovation among niche providers in the energy services sector. Their procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), reflecting expertise in grid modernization, metering infrastructure, and distributed energy integration. Secondary emphasis on NAICS 334512 and 238220 indicates deep familiarity with automated building controls and mechanical systems, positioning them as a technical authority in federal energy infrastructure procurement.
