Martha Jackson

Martha Jackson serves as a key procurement lead within the PBS Regulated Utility Procurement Division of the General Services Administration, where she orchestrates strategic acquisitions to advance federal decarbonization goals. Her work centers on securing energy services—including electric power, natural gas, and energy efficiency solutions—through long-term performance-based contracts, primarily Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs). She ensures federal facilities achieve operational resilience and sustainability by facilitating deep energy retrofits and infrastructure modernization, aligning all procurements with the Administration’s net-zero objectives. Her acquisitions are mission-critical, targeting building systems that reduce lifecycle costs and carbon emissions across the federal real estate portfolio. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Jackson maintains a consistent procurement pattern focused on qualified energy service companies (ESCOs) and construction firms with demonstrated expertise in ESPC implementation, utility-scale retrofits, and integrated energy management systems. She cultivates collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance guarantees, risk-sharing structures, and long-term service agreements, ensuring accountability and measurable energy savings over contract lifetimes. Jackson’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business goals, with 100% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes participation from small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, embedding socioeconomic equity into every solicitation. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to expanding market access and fostering innovation through small business engagement in complex energy infrastructure projects. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, where she procures comprehensive retrofit packages including HVAC upgrades, lighting retrofits, building automation systems, and renewable energy integrations. She possesses deep expertise in performance-based contracting, utility incentive coordination, and compliance with federal energy mandates, ensuring all projects deliver verified energy and cost savings while meeting federal sustainability standards.
