Lisa B Byrd

Lisa B. Byrd serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R7 Program Support – Capital and IDIQ, where she manages complex acquisition strategies for federal infrastructure projects critical to national border security. Her portfolio centers on the design, construction, and modernization of Land Ports of Entry and associated roadway systems, leveraging integrated architectural, engineering, and construction services. She executes full lifecycle contracting under IDIQ and task order mechanisms, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and high-performance federal facilities nationwide. Byrd maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including PDG, INC. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which provide specialized construction and site development expertise for large-scale federal infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term vendor partnerships built on technical proficiency, performance reliability, and consistent compliance with federal construction standards. She frequently engages firms with demonstrated experience in commercial and institutional building construction, fostering collaborative relationships that support timely delivery of mission-critical projects. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 87.2% of awards issued without set-aside designation. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating approximately 10.3% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and approximately 2.6% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This balanced strategy ensures market competitiveness while fulfilling statutory socioeconomic objectives. Byrd’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her deep expertise in managing complex construction projects involving structural systems, site development, and integrated design-build delivery. She also procures related services in poured concrete foundation work, roofing, and architectural design, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the full spectrum of federal construction procurement needs.
