Nilda I. Gonzalez

Nilda I. Gonzalez serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R2 Capital Construction Branch, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for federal facility construction and modernization projects. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under FAR guidelines, she ensures compliance with federal procurement standards while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, high-performance federal infrastructure—including courthouses, port of entry facilities, and office complexes. Her work spans design-build, construction management, and renovation contracts, requiring deep familiarity with architectural and engineering services, site development, and sustainable building practices. Gonzalez maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key contractor with proven expertise in complex federal site development and construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in federal facility standards, reliability in schedule adherence, and strong safety and quality control protocols. She fosters long-term partnerships with contractors who consistently meet performance benchmarks and comply with federal reporting and oversight requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small business contractors. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation where feasible, aligning with GSA’s broader objectives to promote equitable access to federal contracting. Though NAICS data is not currently available, her portfolio is centered on capital construction activities, including site preparation, structural work, mechanical and electrical systems integration, and facility modernization. She possesses specialized knowledge in federal construction codes, sustainability standards such as LEED, and the unique regulatory requirements governing federal building projects, making her a critical link between technical design and compliant procurement execution.
