Linda J Byrne

Linda J. Byrne serves as a Contracting Officer at the PBS R1 Administration Support Center-BOS, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of facility-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, efficient, and modern federal workspaces across Region 1. Her portfolio primarily includes construction, maintenance, and operational support services for federal buildings, with a focus on integrated facility management and infrastructure upgrades. She exercises independent contracting authority under FAR Part 17 and utilizes a range of contract types, including IDIQs, CPFF, and fixed-price arrangements, to meet evolving facility needs. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Byrne maintains consistent relationships with firms specializing in building systems, maintenance, and support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal facility operations, often engaging contractors with prior performance history in GSA-managed environments. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, performance metrics, and compliance with sustainability and safety standards. Byrne’s contracting activity reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 85.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 11.8% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.9% to 8(a) competed contracts. Her approach balances broad market access with targeted socioeconomic goals, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to expanding opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 561210 (facilities support services), and 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), reflecting deep expertise in building systems, maintenance, and capital improvement projects. She regularly procures services including HVAC replacement, janitorial operations, and integrated facility management, demonstrating technical proficiency in federal building operations and lifecycle asset management.
