Margaret Daulton

Margaret Daulton serves as a Landscape Designer within the PBS R8 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a critical role in integrating sustainable site design and hardscape solutions into federal facility modernization projects. Her expertise informs the acquisition of comprehensive landscape and site development services for federal buildings and land ports of entry, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, accessibility requirements, and long-term operational efficiency. She collaborates closely with design-build teams and facility managers to translate functional and aesthetic objectives into technically sound procurement requirements, primarily supporting integrated construction and infrastructure upgrades. Daulton maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in site development and landscape execution, including LEA MARIE LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, HANDYMAN NATION INC., and SECURITYHUNTER, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated capacity in site grading, drainage systems, irrigation, and security-integrated landscaping. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to federal construction codes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical merit and vendor capability over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations remain rigorous and transparent, ensuring competitive fairness and value-driven outcomes. Daulton’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—reflecting her deep involvement in the integration of landscape systems with building utilities, including stormwater management, irrigation infrastructure, and utility corridor landscaping. Her technical domain expertise centers on sustainable site design, hydrologic integration, and climate-resilient hardscape solutions that support federal facility resilience and lifecycle cost efficiency.
