Niki McFarlin serves as a Contracting Officer for the PBS R3 Richmond Field Office within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of critical facility infrastructure and relocation services essential to federal operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on strategic construction, maintenance, and relocation contracts that ensure the safety, sustainability, and efficiency of government-owned and leased buildings. She executes full lifecycle procurement actions under FAR Part 36 and Part 48, coordinating with project managers, engineers, and facility stakeholders to align contracting outcomes with GSA’s mission of modernizing federal infrastructure while minimizing disruption to agency operations. McFarlin cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of qualified contractors, primarily focused on commercial and institutional construction firms and household/office goods moving vendors. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based contract management. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and vendor days to foster innovation and ensure market awareness, promoting accountability and value-driven outcomes across all contract types. A staunch advocate for small business participation, McFarlin applies a 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy across her acquisition portfolio, in full alignment with FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business concerns, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities without reliance on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This unwavering commitment reflects GSA’s broader mandate to empower small enterprises as vital partners in public infrastructure delivery. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), encompassing renovations, repairs, and new construction of federal facilities, and NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), which supports seamless agency relocations. McFarlin brings deep expertise in facility lifecycle management, sustainable building practices, and relocation logistics, ensuring all procurements meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and environmental compliance.
