Mark Bentley

Mark Bentley serves as a procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s Acquisition Management Division at the General Services Administration, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical federal construction and facility support services. His role centers on managing the full lifecycle of federal building projects—including design, construction, renovation, and maintenance of courthouses and office complexes—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning acquisitions with GSA’s strategic goals for sustainability, security, and operational efficiency. He routinely handles complex, high-stakes construction contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on integrated project delivery and performance-based contracting methods. Bentley maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a trusted prime contractor specializing in commercial and institutional building construction. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to federal construction standards. He frequently engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, prioritizing firms with proven experience in federal facility delivery and robust safety and quality control systems. His contracting patterns reflect a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 60% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 40% designated specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This deliberate allocation demonstrates a strategic emphasis on expanding opportunities for underserved small businesses while ensuring robust competition and mission readiness. Bentley’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new builds, major renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for federal facilities. His technical expertise lies in managing complex construction scopes including structural systems, mechanical-electrical-plumbing integration, accessibility compliance, and sustainable building practices aligned with GSA’s High-Performance Green Building Standards.
