Patricia J Willis

Patricia J. Willis serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch at the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex federal construction and security infrastructure procurements across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of design-build and construction contracts, ensuring compliance with FAR provisions while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, energy-efficient, and mission-critical federal facilities. She specializes in managing integrated design-build acquisitions, performance-based specifications, and construction management contracts that align with GSA’s sustainability and security standards. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Willis routinely engages with a diverse pool of qualified contractors, including large prime builders, specialty subcontractors, and small business partners with proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction and security systems integration. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in technical competence, past performance, and adherence to federal construction codes and safety protocols. Willis demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 14.3% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small business concerns. Though the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively promotes small business inclusion through strategic solicitation design and pre-solicitation outreach, ensuring compliance with socioeconomic contracting goals without compromising project integrity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she manages new construction, renovation, and modernization projects, alongside NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), which includes access control, surveillance, and intrusion detection systems. Her technical expertise spans building envelope standards, energy-efficient design, and federal security infrastructure, making her a key practitioner in delivering secure, high-performance federal facilities.
