Lucas Mann

Lucas Mann supports the Public Buildings Service’s Pbs R7 Energy & Acquisition Support unit within the General Services Administration, playing a critical role in advancing federal building modernization through performance-based procurement. He manages acquisitions centered on energy efficiency, utility integration, and building systems upgrades, primarily utilizing Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and other results-driven contracting mechanisms. His work directly enables long-term operational savings and sustainability goals across federal facilities by aligning procurement strategy with federal energy mandates and net-zero objectives. Mann collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including energy service companies (ESCOs), mechanical contractors, and technical consultants specializing in building automation and utility-scale retrofits. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, his procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering comprehensive, whole-building solutions under performance-based frameworks. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships rooted in technical rigor, risk-sharing, and guaranteed energy savings, ensuring accountability and measurable outcomes. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses in the federal energy and infrastructure space, though no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant. His approach prioritizes capability and capacity over narrow socioeconomic designations, while still ensuring broad small business access. Mann’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep engagement with HVAC modernization and building mechanical systems. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 484210 (Moving Services) for facility relocations tied to retrofits and NAICS 541110 (Legal Services) to support complex contract structuring and compliance. His expertise spans technical building systems, energy performance contracting, and regulatory alignment—making him a key enabler of sustainable federal infrastructure transformation.
