Latriska Keynerd

Latriska Keynerd serves as a Procurement Technician at the General Services Administration’s PBS R9 LASC 1st Street Field Office, supporting the acquisition of construction and renovation services critical to federal justice facilities. In this role, she facilitates the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts for the construction, modernization, and specialized alteration of buildings housing U.S. Attorney’s Offices, District Courts, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Her responsibilities include coordinating with project managers, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations, and managing the procurement lifecycle for complex facility upgrades, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building construction under NAICS 236220. Keynerd works closely with a network of qualified general contractors and specialty trade firms to execute high-priority federal construction projects. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages with firms possessing proven experience in federal courthouse and law enforcement facility upgrades, including those certified in safety, security, and acoustical construction standards. Her working relationships are characterized by collaboration, strict adherence to technical specifications, and a focus on timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses to compete on equal footing, aligning with GSA’s socioeconomic goals while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Though no specific set-aside categories dominate, her approach supports broad-based small business inclusion across multiple socioeconomic programs. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220, where she procures comprehensive construction services for federal buildings, including structural, mechanical, and security system integrations. She also manages niche specialty trade contracts under NAICS 238990, ensuring compliance with federal building codes and justice-sector security requirements. Keynerd’s domain knowledge spans courtroom design, secure detention areas, and facility modernization tailored to the operational needs of federal judicial and law enforcement tenants.
