Lois Bennett

Lois Bennett serves as Project Manager for the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 2 (47PM02), where she leads the end-to-end delivery of mission-critical construction and renovation projects across the National Capital Region. In this role, she oversees the planning, procurement, and contract administration of integrated design-build and professional services contracts that support the modernization of high-visibility federal facilities. Her responsibilities include aligning acquisition strategies with long-term facility operations goals, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards, and facilitating collaboration between design teams, contractors, and federal stakeholders to deliver scalable, sustainable infrastructure solutions. Lois Bennett cultivates strategic partnerships with a broad spectrum of professional services firms specializing in architectural, engineering, and construction management disciplines. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in federal design-build delivery, facility condition assessments, and adaptive reuse projects. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, lifecycle cost analysis, and collaborative project delivery methods such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), fostering transparent, accountable vendor partnerships grounded in technical excellence and regulatory compliance. Lois Bennett’s procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This approach prioritizes technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains committed to fair and equitable access for all qualified vendors. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her structured evaluation criteria often enable capable small and mid-sized firms to compete successfully based on merit and past performance. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing design-build services, facilities planning, sustainability consulting, and construction oversight. She specializes in procuring integrated technical services that bridge design, construction, and operations, ensuring federal buildings meet evolving security, energy efficiency, and accessibility standards. Her domain expertise lies in complex federal construction environments requiring coordination among multiple regulatory bodies and stakeholder groups.
