Linda L Langston

Linda L. Langston serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s Eastern Region under the General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure modernization projects. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and sustainability mandates. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to maintain safe, efficient, and energy-resilient federal facilities by overseeing the full lifecycle of construction-related procurements—from needs assessment through contract closeout—while aligning acquisitions with federal sustainability and resilience goals. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Langston routinely engages with qualified construction firms capable of delivering complex building system upgrades, including mechanical, electrical, and structural improvements to federal properties. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based requirements, and rigorous oversight to ensure contractor accountability and adherence to federal construction standards. She fosters collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in retrofitting legacy facilities and implementing energy-efficient building systems. Langston exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for one-third of her awards, reflecting a deliberate effort to support economically distressed communities. The majority of her acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, yet she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small business participation, particularly through HUBZone certification, in alignment with GSA’s broader inclusion goals. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she specializes in the acquisition of new construction, renovation, and modernization services for federal buildings. This includes expertise in procuring services related to HVAC systems, elevator modernization, roofing, envelope repairs, and compliance with the Federal Energy Management Program and sustainability directives.
