Mary Pineda

Mary Pineda serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 2 (47PM02) under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. She manages the full lifecycle of construction and facilities-related acquisitions, overseeing design-build, renovation, and integrated facilities support contracts critical to modernizing federal infrastructure across the National Capital Region. Her work ensures mission-critical federal campuses meet operational, safety, and sustainability standards through compliant, performance-based contracting practices aligned with FAR and GSA policies. She routinely handles complex, high-visibility projects requiring coordination among architects, contractors, and federal stakeholders. Pineda collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, architectural design, and building systems integration. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she fosters long-term partnerships with firms experienced in design-build delivery, facility operations, and placemaking initiatives. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance outcomes, innovation in construction methodologies, and contractor accountability under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 89.1% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 10.9% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her commitment to small business is evident through structured solicitation design that encourages competitive small business bids. Pineda’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), reflecting her specialization in integrated design-build projects. She also procures related services including furniture procurement (423210), building equipment installation (238290), and specialized technical consulting (541990). Her expertise lies in managing technically complex acquisitions that require multidisciplinary coordination, code compliance, and lifecycle asset management for federal facilities.
