Mary E. Pacheco

Mary E. Pacheco serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R9 Reality Property Utilization and Disposal Division under the General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for federal real property transformation projects. Her role centers on executing strategic procurement actions that align with the agency’s mission to optimize the reuse, disposal, and modernization of surplus federal assets. She routinely handles complex construction and infrastructure acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while facilitating the transition of underutilized properties into mission-critical, high-efficiency facilities through competitive bidding and contract administration. Pacheco collaborates with a diverse array of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, water and sewer infrastructure, and site remediation services. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing proven expertise in federal construction delivery, including those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract oversight, and proactive vendor engagement to ensure timely, compliant project execution across geographically dispersed sites. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Pacheco prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately 50% of her acquisitions reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and an additional 10% allocated to HUBZone and 8(a) certified firms. Her contracting approach reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while maintaining high standards of quality and accountability, consistently integrating small business capabilities into mission-critical infrastructure projects. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for 80% of her portfolio, alongside NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction). She specializes in procuring turnkey construction, site redevelopment, and utility infrastructure services, demonstrating deep technical knowledge in federal construction standards, environmental compliance, and adaptive reuse methodologies.
