Miles Conant

Miles Conant serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the federal government’s physical infrastructure modernization mission. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, renovation, and facility support services across federal buildings nationwide. His portfolio centers on mission-critical acquisitions including building systems upgrades, interior renovations, and operational support services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA policy. Conant works closely with project managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with agency priorities, emphasizing efficiency, sustainability, and regulatory adherence in every acquisition. Conant maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a key contractor providing construction and site development services for federal facilities. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors with proven track records in federal construction and facility maintenance, while also fostering reliable, performance-based vendor partnerships. He prioritizes contractors demonstrating technical competence, safety compliance, and timely delivery—qualities essential to sustaining the operational integrity of federal buildings. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements (80%), Conant actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 (20%). His socioeconomic contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to broad market competition and targeted opportunities for small businesses, without reliance on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His technical expertise is anchored in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), where he procures engineering and facility assessment services, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 541350 (Building Inspection Services), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection). This reflects a multidisciplinary focus on integrated facility operations, ensuring that procurement decisions support the long-term functionality, safety, and compliance of federal infrastructure.
