Maikis Papageorge

Maikis Papageorge serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 1, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of federal construction-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain mission-critical federal facilities across the National Capital Region. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build and integrated project delivery contracts, with a focus on architectural, engineering, and technical services essential to facility upgrades, historic preservation, and infrastructure resilience. He works closely with project managers, engineers, and legal advisors to align procurement strategy with programmatic goals and sustainability benchmarks. Papageorge cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of qualified vendors, including architectural firms, engineering consultants, and specialized technical service providers. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in federal facility modernization, building systems integration, and compliance with GSA sustainability standards. He engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing transparency, value engineering, and performance-based outcomes. His procurement approach prioritizes broad market access, with 85.7% of acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside actions and 14.3% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that supports both large-capacity contractors capable of complex federal projects and small businesses with niche technical capabilities. He actively promotes socioeconomic inclusion by ensuring eligible small businesses have equitable access to opportunities, though he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Papageorge’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), followed by engineering services (541330) and other professional, scientific, and technical services (541990). He frequently procures design services for adaptive reuse projects, building automation systems, and facility condition assessments, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical and regulatory frameworks governing federal construction and infrastructure modernization.
