Linda L Tyler

Linda L. Tyler serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service, Region 10 (PBS R10), under the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing facility acquisition strategies that support the modernization and preservation of federal infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction contracts, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing PBS R10’s mission to deliver safe, secure, and efficient federal workspaces—particularly in historic and high-visibility buildings. Her acquisitions primarily involve commercial and institutional building construction under NAICS 236220, encompassing renovation, rehabilitation, and new construction projects that align with federal sustainability and accessibility standards. Tyler cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in federal facility construction, including general contractors, design-build firms, and specialty trade subcontractors. She consistently engages with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in historic preservation, energy-efficient retrofitting, and compliance with GSA’s sustainability guidelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting the technical and regulatory demands of federal construction. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Tyler prioritizes small business participation, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs, ensuring equitable access to federal construction contracts. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand the pool of qualified small business contractors in the federal construction sector. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220, focusing exclusively on commercial and institutional building construction. She specializes in procurements involving structural upgrades, mechanical and electrical system modernizations, ADA compliance enhancements, and historic facade restoration—domains requiring deep familiarity with federal building codes, preservation standards, and construction management best practices.
