Meredith Parker

Meredith K. Parker serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R6 Services Acquisition Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical facilities support services for federal buildings. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific requirements. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions in custodial, landscaping, building operations, and related support functions essential to maintaining the operational integrity of federal infrastructure. While specific contractor names are not available, Parker engages with a diverse pool of vendors providing facilities management and technical services, fostering partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and clear statement of work definitions. Her working relationships emphasize accountability, compliance, and value-driven outcomes, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven experience in federal facility operations and sustainable service delivery models. Parker’s contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on broad market access, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted as unrestricted procurements and 12.5% structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate balance between maximizing competition and actively supporting small business participation, aligning with GSA’s socioeconomic goals without prioritizing specific set-aside categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), reflecting demand for secure communications infrastructure in federal facilities, followed by NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting Services) for operational efficiency initiatives and NAICS 561710 (Pest Control Services) for environmental health compliance. She demonstrates technical expertise in procuring integrated facility services, with a specialized understanding of performance metrics, service level agreements, and the unique regulatory environment governing federal building operations.
