Leslie Jones

Leslie Jones serves as a Contracting Officer for the PBS R2 Repair and Alterations Branch within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of construction, renovation, and facility modernization services for federal buildings nationwide. Her portfolio centers on ensuring the safety, functionality, and operational readiness of federal infrastructure through competitive contracting processes under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. She specializes in procuring complex, multi-year projects involving commercial and institutional construction, as well as architectural and engineering services, often requiring coordination with historic preservation standards and federal building codes. Jones maintains established working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including F.L. Pinto Companies, LLC, RAAD Construction Group LLC, Southeast Restoration, Inc., Muba Construction, Corp., and SDPM JFM Construcciones Joint Venture. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in federal facility repair, alteration, and renovation, with a focus on performance-based contracting and quality assurance protocols. Her approach emphasizes contractor reliability, past performance evaluation, and adherence to technical specifications outlined in solicitation documents. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a strategic emphasis on maximizing value and technical capability rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she ensures all solicitations are structured to allow equitable access for all qualified vendors. Jones’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, alongside NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services). She routinely manages acquisitions for structural renovations, MEP system upgrades, envelope repairs, and design-build services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal building standards, life-cycle cost analysis, and construction management best practices.
