Magdalena L. Malave

Magdalena L. Malave serves as a Buyer responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services. In this role, she ensures that procurement activities align with federal contracting regulations and agency objectives, facilitating timely and cost-effective delivery of infrastructure projects. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and overseeing contract performance to meet technical and compliance standards. She primarily handles full and open competitions for construction-related procurements, working closely with project managers and design professionals to define scope, schedule, and quality requirements for new builds and major renovations. Magdalena collaborates with a broad range of contractors in the construction sector, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and design-build teams. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent engagement with firms experienced in commercial and institutional construction, emphasizing performance history, safety records, and capacity to deliver complex projects. Her working relationships are characterized by transparency, competitive fairness, and a focus on accountability throughout the contract lifecycle. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition and leveraging market-wide capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes value, capability, and compliance over socioeconomic preferences. Magdalena’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. She routinely acquires services related to the design, construction, and renovation of office buildings, educational facilities, government administrative centers, and other non-residential structures. Her technical expertise lies in understanding building codes, construction methodologies, and project delivery models such as design-bid-build and design-build, ensuring that procurements meet both functional and regulatory standards.
