Patricia A. Taylor

Patricia A. Taylor serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 3, under the General Services Administration. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of construction-related acquisitions, from solicitation and evaluation to award and contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver secure, sustainable, and mission-critical federal facilities through strategic construction and long-term leasing. Taylor specializes in commercial and institutional building construction projects, overseeing complex procurements that require coordination with architects, engineers, and construction managers to meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and environmental performance. While specific contractor names are not available, Taylor maintains consistent partnerships with a broad network of qualified construction firms, including general contractors, specialty trade subcontractors, and design-build teams. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical competence, past performance, and adherence to federal construction codes. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation meetings and contractor outreach events to ensure market readiness and fair competition. Taylor exhibits a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She prioritizes opportunities for small businesses across all socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal construction contracts. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand small business participation and build capacity within underserved construction markets. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new builds, renovations, and facility modernizations for federal agencies. She procures services related to structural work, MEP systems, interior finishes, and sustainable building practices, demonstrating deep expertise in construction contract types such as firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements, as well as performance specifications aligned with GSA and federal building standards.
