Linda F Lockett

Linda F. Lockett serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R4 (AMD) Acquisition Management Division under the General Services Administration, where she manages the full lifecycle procurement of mission-critical federal infrastructure projects. Her portfolio centers on the design, construction, and renovation of courthouses, federal office buildings, and other secure government facilities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and sustainable building standards. She executes complex construction and architectural services contracts using competitive procedures under FAR Part 36, integrating environmental, security, and accessibility requirements into every acquisition strategy. Lockett maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key contractor delivering integrated site development and building construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor engagement, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, on-time infrastructure solutions under tight federal compliance frameworks. She actively coordinates with design-build teams, construction managers, and technical consultants to ensure seamless project execution from planning through closeout. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Lockett consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 60% of her acquisitions to small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic opportunities while maintaining competitive rigor. Her contracting patterns prioritize equitable access for small businesses across multiple categories, aligning with GSA’s broader goals to expand participation in federal construction markets. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she manages large-scale facility upgrades and new construction, complemented by NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) for design and planning support. Lockett’s expertise spans integrated project delivery models, construction management at-risk, and design-build contracting, demonstrating deep technical knowledge in federal building standards, ADA compliance, and sustainable design practices.
