Matthew A Gagnon

Matthew A. Gagnon serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s Upstate New York Service Center, supporting the General Services Administration’s mission to modernize and sustain federal facilities across the region. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility-related services, including planning, solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. His acquisitions primarily support capital improvement initiatives, building system upgrades, and mission-critical infrastructure maintenance, ensuring compliance with federal standards and efficient use of public resources. Gagnon specializes in service-based contracts that align with the agency’s strategic priorities in space optimization and facility resilience. Gagnon cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in facilities support, building services, and marketing consulting. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages qualified small businesses and experienced service providers with proven expertise in federal facility operations. His working patterns emphasize transparent competition, rigorous source selection, and strong vendor engagement to ensure high-quality deliverables and timely project execution across multiple sites. Gagnon demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, fostering equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His consistent use of set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand small business participation and strengthen regional economic development through targeted federal spending. His procurement focus centers on three primary NAICS categories: 541613 (Marketing Consulting Services), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings). He regularly procures services such as facility management, custodial support, grounds maintenance, energy efficiency consulting, and operational communications. This technical domain expertise enables him to effectively evaluate vendor proposals and ensure alignment with the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable federal workspaces.
