Patricia A. Wright

Patricia A. Wright serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R2 Capital Construction Branch of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for federal construction and design projects. She is responsible for developing, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that support the design, renovation, and modernization of federal facilities—including courthouses, port of entry sites, and office complexes. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure through compliant, transparent, and efficient procurement practices. Wright routinely handles complex construction and professional services acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on integrated project delivery and performance-based contracting methods. Wright maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for capital construction and site development efforts. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with federal construction standards. She collaborates closely with a select group of experienced contractors who demonstrate proven expertise in federal facility delivery, ensuring alignment with GSA’s quality, safety, and sustainability benchmarks. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 8.3% allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on fostering equitable access to federal construction opportunities. Wright’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), reflecting her primary engagement with building design, structural construction, and facility modernization. She also regularly procures related services in site preparation, engineering, and utility infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in the full spectrum of federal construction project delivery.
