Nick Carroll

Nick Carroll serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 2 (47PM02), part of the General Services Administration. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of complex construction and design-build procurements critical to modernizing federal infrastructure across the National Capital Region. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating technical and cost proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He specializes in integrated delivery methods, particularly design-build contracts, and routinely handles acquisitions for high-visibility federal facilities requiring coordinated architectural, engineering, and construction services. Nick works with a broad spectrum of prime contractors, including large architectural and engineering firms, general contractors with design-build capabilities, and specialized construction firms experienced in federal compliance. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, collaborative contract administration, and long-term facility lifecycle support. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with vendors possessing proven experience in federal construction, sustainable building practices, and adaptive reuse of historic structures. Nick’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-asides. This underscores a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified firms rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s mission to leverage broad market capacity for mission-critical infrastructure projects. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, he ensures all solicitations are structured to encourage broad eligibility and fair access. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), each accounting for 37.5% of his activity, with additional emphasis on 541330 (Engineering Services) and 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers) for integrated placemaking and cultural elements in federal campuses. His expertise lies in procuring comprehensive design-build solutions that merge aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability in high-profile federal environments.
