Nicholas Uom

Nicholas Uom serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the PBS Project Delivery East – Branch E under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. Though not a primary contracting officer, he supports the planning and execution of facility modernization initiatives for federal courthouses and institutional buildings, assisting in the coordination of acquisition strategies that align with the agency’s mission to deliver safe, functional, and enduring federal infrastructure. His role involves facilitating contract lifecycle support, reviewing technical requirements, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations for construction and design services, particularly in judicial and institutional settings. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly designated, Uom collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of vendors including general contractors, building systems specialists, and professional service firms that support federal construction projects. His working pattern emphasizes alignment with GSA’s standardized procurement frameworks, fostering partnerships with firms experienced in federal compliance, design-build delivery methods, and sustainable construction practices. Uom operates within a procurement environment strongly oriented toward small business participation, with 70% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economic inclusion, with a consistent preference for small business concerns across multiple socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB firms, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to equitable contracting opportunities. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 70% of activity, with additional support for other building equipment contractors (238290), architectural services (541310), engineering services (541330), and facilities support services (561210). He specializes in acquisitions involving courthouse renovations, structural upgrades, mechanical and electrical system integrations, and design-phase consulting essential to maintaining the integrity and functionality of federal judicial facilities.
