Misa Westby

Misa Westby serves as a key procurement lead within the Pbs R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical facility support services focused on interior renovations and building systems modernization. Her work directly supports the federal government’s infrastructure stewardship mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient procurement of office furniture and related facility components for federal buildings nationwide. She manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—with a focus on standardized, high-volume purchases that align with federal building standards and sustainability requirements. Westby maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary vendor for the delivery and installation of integrated office furniture systems and facility fit-outs. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, reliable contractors with proven capacity to meet federal specifications for durability, ergonomics, and compliance with GSA schedules. She engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and GSA Multiple Award Schedules, prioritizing performance history, delivery timelines, and adherence to federal manufacturing standards. Westby’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s operational need for scalable, standardized solutions rather than socioeconomic targeting, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations and ensures transparency in sourcing decisions. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 337214—Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing—where she specializes in acquiring modular workstations, storage systems, ergonomic seating, and integrated technology-ready furniture configurations. She possesses deep expertise in federal furniture specifications, including GSA FURN-1 and Federal Specification FF-F-460, ensuring all acquisitions meet accessibility, safety, and sustainability mandates under the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
