Magda Youssef

Magda Youssef serves as a Project Manager at the General Services Administration’s PBS R9 San Francisco Service Center, where she leads the planning, acquisition, and lifecycle management of federal real estate construction projects. In this role, she ensures that agency facilities meet mission-critical operational needs while adhering to federal building codes, accessibility standards, and sustainability requirements. She primarily manages design-build and construction service acquisitions under the Public Buildings Service’s mandate to secure and maintain safe, efficient, and compliant federal workspaces across the Western region. Magda collaborates with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, high-performance building projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, integrated project delivery, and early vendor engagement to ensure design integrity and schedule adherence. She works closely with prime contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals to align project outcomes with GSA’s standards for resilience, energy efficiency, and occupant safety. A staunch advocate for small business inclusion, Magda consistently prioritizes full small business set-asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her construction acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally-based firms, including those owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, without relying on specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone as mandatory filters. Her technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for federal offices, courthouses, and service facilities. She possesses deep expertise in managing procurements for envelope systems, mechanical and electrical installations, ADA-compliant modifications, and sustainable building practices, ensuring all projects meet GSA’s stringent performance and compliance benchmarks.
