Laura Park

Laura Park serves as a Contract Specialist at the Public Buildings Service’s Administration Support Center-RI (47PB06), under the General Services Administration, where she manages the full lifecycle of facility-related acquisitions to support the modernization and operational integrity of federal buildings across the Northeast. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, with a primary focus on construction and facility support services. She plays a critical role in translating agency infrastructure needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that uphold safety, accessibility, and resilience standards. Laura cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors, particularly those specializing in commercial and institutional construction and janitorial services. She works closely with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering transparent, performance-based partnerships that emphasize quality, timeliness, and regulatory adherence. Her procurement approach prioritizes clear performance metrics and robust contract administration to ensure contractor accountability across complex facility projects. A strong advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Laura consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately 50% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides and 25% designated specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining high standards of performance and compliance under FAR Part 19. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she oversees renovations, structural upgrades, and new construction projects, as well as NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), ensuring ongoing facility maintenance meets federal standards. Laura’s domain knowledge spans building systems integration, accessibility compliance, and facility lifecycle management, making her a key contributor to the agency’s mission of sustaining safe, efficient, and resilient federal infrastructure.
