Patricia A Tackett

Patricia M. Tackett serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R10 Services Acquisitions Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain federal facility operations. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for integrated facilities support services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with the agency’s mandate to maintain safe, accessible, and resilient federal infrastructure. Her acquisitions primarily involve operational and maintenance services essential to the continuous functioning of government buildings, including energy systems, environmental controls, and professional technical support. Tackett cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including large prime contractors delivering comprehensive facilities management solutions and specialized small businesses providing niche technical services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development to ensure accountability and service quality. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in federal facility operations, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance, transparency, and deliverable-driven outcomes. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports socioeconomic goals by allocating 12.5% of opportunities to HUBZone concerns and another 12.5% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and broad market participation. Tackett’s technical focus centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which constitutes half of her portfolio, followed by electric power distribution (221122), steam and air-conditioning supply (221330), and other professional technical services (541990). She specializes in procuring services related to building systems maintenance, utility infrastructure support, and facility operations, ensuring federal buildings meet modern standards for safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency.
