Larissa A. Ortmann

Larissa A. Ortmann serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, where she manages complex construction and facilities support procurements across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for federal building projects, including design-build, renovation, and modernization efforts aligned with GSA’s mission of delivering resilient, energy-efficient, and mission-critical infrastructure. She applies Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) protocols to ensure compliance, risk mitigation, and operational continuity in high-stakes environments, frequently engaging with contractors on integrated project delivery models. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Ortmann maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of construction and facilities service providers, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and small business subcontractors. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated design-build delivery, and stringent quality control standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. Ortmann demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly one-third of her awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 9.1% allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand small business participation while maintaining competitive integrity and mission readiness, consistently balancing broad competition with targeted set-asides to support veteran-owned and disadvantaged enterprises. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors), with additional activity in electrical contracting and janitorial services. She specializes in acquiring integrated construction services, building envelope systems, and facility maintenance solutions that support the resilience and operational sustainability of federal infrastructure in remote and challenging geographic regions.
