Mr. John McLaurin, Contracting Officer

Mr. John McLaurin serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions focused exclusively on Facilities Support Services under NAICS 561210. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical support services such as facility maintenance, custodial operations, groundskeeping, and building systems management. His procurement activities directly enable the operational readiness of government installations, aligning acquisition strategy with agency infrastructure needs. McLaurin handles a high volume of task and delivery order contracts, often awarded through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and routinely evaluates proposals for performance-based service contracts under FAR Part 37. McLaurin maintains a broad and diverse contractor base, engaging with both large professional services firms and small, local service providers to ensure nationwide coverage and responsive support. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his award patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven track records in facility operations, safety compliance, and energy-efficient maintenance practices. He actively fosters long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate operational excellence, quality assurance systems, and robust subcontracting plans. Mr. McLaurin’s contracting approach is uniformly non-set-aside, with 100% of his awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, while still ensuring equitable access for all qualified vendors. His approach underscores a commitment to transparency and competitive integrity in service acquisition. His technical expertise centers entirely on NAICS 561210, where he specializes in procuring integrated facilities management services including preventive maintenance, waste removal, HVAC servicing, and security support. McLaurin is well-versed in performance work statements (PWS), outcome-based metrics, and service-level agreements (SLAs), ensuring that contractor deliverables align precisely with facility operational requirements.
