Molly Vance

Molly Vance serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where she manages complex construction and facility support acquisitions critical to modernizing federal infrastructure. Her work centers on delivering secure, resilient, and high-performance government buildings, with a strategic focus on land ports of entry and naval installations. She oversees end-to-end contracting for commercial and institutional building construction projects, applying full lifecycle acquisition practices under FAR Part 36. Her portfolio includes integrated design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery methods, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission of operational excellence and mission-critical facility readiness. Vance maintains consistent working relationships with established construction contractors, including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J CONTRACTORS, INC., who have demonstrated proven capacity in delivering large-scale federal construction projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in federal compliance, safety protocols, and complex scheduling environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability through rigorous pre-award evaluations and post-award oversight. A strong advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Vance prioritizes Women-Owned Small Business set-asides, which account for 60% of her awards, alongside a significant 40% total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5. Her procurement patterns consistently channel opportunities to small businesses with proven capabilities in federal construction, reinforcing GSA’s commitment to broad-based economic inclusion and workforce development through targeted contracting strategies. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she procures comprehensive construction services including new builds, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for high-security federal facilities. Her expertise lies in managing multi-disciplinary construction scopes involving structural, mechanical, electrical, and security systems integration, ensuring compliance with federal building codes and sustainability standards.
