Laura A. Magee

Laura A. Magee serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions for federal facility infrastructure and operational support services. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—Magee ensures compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies while advancing the mission of safe, efficient, and modernized federal buildings and land ports of entry. Her portfolio primarily encompasses design-build construction, facility modernization, and integrated building services, requiring technical acumen in construction management and systems integration. Magee maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in building systems and facility support, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced specialty trade contractors capable of delivering high-quality, on-time performance in mission-critical environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and quality assurance. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions (88.5%), Magee demonstrates targeted support for small business participation, with approximately 3.9% of awards designated for 8(a) firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining competitive rigor and mission readiness. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 561990 (All Other Support Services), reflecting deep expertise in electrical systems installation, facility construction, and ancillary operational support. She routinely manages contracts for fire protection systems, specialty trade services, and facility maintenance, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal construction standards and building systems integration.
