Lily Thompson

Lily Thompson serves as Lead Contract Specialist within the Pbs R3 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she oversees the strategic procurement of facility-related services critical to federal workspace modernization across Region 3. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on architectural services, professional technical support, and administrative operations essential to maintaining safe, efficient, and compliant federal facilities. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement activities with agency priorities to modernize aging infrastructure while ensuring regulatory compliance and fiscal responsibility. Thompson collaborates closely with a diverse array of professional service providers, including architectural firms, certified public accountants, and technical consultants, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and transparent contract management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages small and mid-sized firms with proven expertise in federal facility support, emphasizing responsiveness, compliance, and innovation in service delivery. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Thompson prioritizes small business participation, directing 75% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with 25% specifically reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while ensuring robust competition and mission-critical capability. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), 541211 (Certified Public Accounting), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 561110 (Office Administrative Services), reflecting deep expertise in facility planning, financial oversight, and operational support for federal real estate. She routinely procures design, engineering, project management, and administrative services that directly enable the delivery of mission-critical federal workspaces.
