Lorraine E Scott

Lorraine E. Scott serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing federal facility acquisition strategies under GSA’s mission to modernize and sustain the nation’s public infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, renovation, and facility support services, ensuring compliance with FAR provisions and aligning procurements with agency priorities in building systems upgrades, interior renovations, and mission-critical operations. Her work directly supports the maintenance and enhancement of federal buildings nationwide through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contracting practices. Scott maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors, most notably Mckenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, with whom she has developed a trusted partnership for complex facility improvement projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors capable of delivering integrated construction and maintenance services, while also fostering reliability through repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures. She emphasizes clear performance metrics and contract administration rigor to ensure delivery of high-quality, code-compliant outcomes across diverse federal sites. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 85% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on full and open competition. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently awarding 15% of her contracts as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Scott’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in janitorial services (561720), plumbing and HVAC (238220), and electrical systems (238210). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services that ensure operational continuity, energy efficiency, and compliance with federal building standards, making her a key contributor to the sustainable modernization of federal infrastructure.
