Oana Sandru

Oana Sandru serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she leads the procurement of construction and facility modernization services for federal buildings nationwide. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle management of contracts for interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical infrastructure support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the Public Buildings Service’s mandate to maintain and modernize the federal real property portfolio. She specializes in complex, high-stakes acquisitions requiring coordination with design professionals, facility managers, and technical stakeholders to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable federal workspaces. Sandru maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for commercial and institutional building projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and proactive communication. She engages with a select group of experienced general contractors and specialty trade firms, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize quality control, schedule adherence, and safety standards across federally funded construction environments. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 45% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, she actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal construction contracts without compromising project integrity or mission needs. Sandru’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with frequent procurement of services from painting, glazing, plumbing, HVAC, and building equipment contractors. Her domain knowledge spans interior fit-outs, envelope rehabilitation, and systems integration, making her a strategic leader in delivering turnkey facility improvements that meet federal standards for accessibility, energy efficiency, and operational resilience.
