Marvin D. Newman

Marvin D. Newman serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R2 Capital Construction Branch of the General Services Administration, where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal construction acquisitions. His role centers on executing complex design-build and construction management contracts for mission-critical federal facilities, including courthouses, port of entry sites, and office complexes. Newman ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic goals of infrastructure modernization, resilience, and operational efficiency. He typically handles high-stakes, multi-year construction projects requiring rigorous technical oversight, performance-based contracting, and integrated project delivery methods. Newman maintains a primary working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted contractor with demonstrated expertise in commercial and institutional construction. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, technical competence, and consistent performance. He fosters collaborative relationships with contractors who bring proven experience in delivering complex federal projects under tight timelines and stringent security and sustainability standards, often utilizing construction management at-risk and design-build delivery models. Newman’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, he adheres strictly to FAR guidelines and ensures all procurements are conducted with transparency and fairness under unrestricted competition. His technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where he specializes in procuring comprehensive construction services for federal buildings, including site development, structural systems, MEP installations, and facility modernization. Newman’s expertise lies in managing large-scale, mission-essential construction projects that demand adherence to GSA’s Design Excellence standards and federal building codes.
