Melissa Hibray

Melissa Hibray serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch, part of the General Services Administration. She manages the full lifecycle of federal construction acquisitions across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, with a strategic focus on design-build delivery methods for mission-critical federal facilities. Her portfolio centers on infrastructure modernization projects that prioritize resilience, energy efficiency, and operational continuity, ensuring federal buildings meet stringent security and sustainability standards. She routinely oversees complex, integrated procurement actions requiring coordination among architects, engineers, and construction contractors to deliver high-performance facilities under tight regulatory and environmental constraints. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Hibray maintains a consistent partnership model with qualified design-build firms and specialized electrical contractors capable of executing large-scale, federally compliant installations. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative pre-solicitation engagement, robust technical evaluations, and performance-based contract management to ensure adherence to federal building codes and sustainability benchmarks. She fosters long-term vendor relationships built on transparency, compliance, and delivery excellence, particularly with firms experienced in remote and geographically challenging environments. Hibray’s acquisition strategy is fully aligned with the agency’s small business mandate, with 100% of her procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and unwavering commitment to maximizing economic opportunity for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs. Her contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to small firms with proven expertise in federal construction, reinforcing the GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals and promoting workforce development in underserved communities. Her technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—reflecting deep specialization in power distribution, lighting systems, security wiring, and energy management infrastructure for federal buildings. She procures turnkey electrical systems that integrate with smart building technologies, renewable energy sources, and emergency backup systems, demonstrating advanced expertise in code-compliant, high-reliability electrical installations for mission-critical federal operations.
