Mr. Michael Metje

Michael A. Metje serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and facilities support acquisitions across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and energy-efficient federal facilities. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build and integrated project delivery contracts, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure modernization and operational continuity for mission-critical federal buildings. Metje maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in construction, facilities management, and real estate services. He regularly engages with small business prime contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive fairness, and early vendor engagement to enhance innovation and reduce lifecycle costs. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Metje consistently prioritizes set-asides, with over 55% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, including 22.2% designated for women-owned small businesses and 11.1% for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while ensuring high-quality service delivery. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing maintenance, operations, and integrated facility management solutions. He also procures related services under NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 531320 (Real Estate Appraisal), demonstrating deep expertise in supporting the operational readiness of federal infrastructure through specialized, mission-aligned contracting.
