Lori L Whittemore

Lori L. Whittemore serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where she manages complex construction and facility support contracts critical to federal infrastructure modernization. Her portfolio centers on end-to-end procurement for high-priority federal assets, including land ports of entry and naval installations, with a focus on delivering secure, resilient, and energy-efficient facilities. She oversees full lifecycle acquisitions—from needs assessment and solicitation through contract award and performance management—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with GSA’s mission to optimize government real estate assets. Whittemore maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J CONTRACTORS, INC., both of which are frequently engaged for design-build, construction management, and facility maintenance services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced firms capable of executing large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure projects under stringent federal standards. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on delivery reliability and regulatory compliance. Whittemore’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s emphasis on leveraging broad market capability to meet complex technical and operational demands, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she ensures all procurements adhere to fair and transparent competition principles under FAR guidelines. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in managing leases, facility operations, and real property management contracts for federal infrastructure. She specializes in procuring integrated facility services, including maintenance, utilities, security, and infrastructure upgrades, demonstrating technical fluency in real estate asset management and federal building operations.
