Monica McGrath

Monica McGrath serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R3 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements for federal facility assets and related services across Region 3. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities, including solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and administration for construction, maintenance, and real estate leasing initiatives. She ensures compliance with FAR regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to secure safe, efficient, and modern federal workspaces. McGrath routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical coordination across architecture, engineering, and facility management disciplines. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, McGrath maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including general contractors, specialty trade firms, and management consultants. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry participants with proven experience in federal facility projects, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. She actively engages with contractors through pre-solicitation outreach and post-award performance reviews to ensure mission-critical deliverables are met. McGrath’s contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.1% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the scale and complexity of the acquisitions she manages. However, she consistently supports small business participation, with 5.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic goals within the constraints of large-scale infrastructure needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), followed by Administrative Management Consulting (541611) and Masonry Contracting (238140). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services, including construction management, structural enhancements, and facility optimization solutions, requiring deep technical understanding of building codes, sustainability standards, and federal construction requirements.
