Patrick Dunlavey

Patrick Dunlavey serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s San Francisco Support Section, overseeing facility infrastructure modernization contracts for federal buildings across the Western United States. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance acquisitions, with a focus on building systems upgrades, environmental compliance, and operational readiness. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable federal workspaces through strategic contracting for capital improvements and facility enhancements. Dunlavey routinely handles complex, multi-disciplinary procurements requiring coordination among architects, engineers, and specialized trade contractors. He maintains a consistent working relationship with Legend Construction and Painting Inc., a primary contractor for interior and exterior building systems upgrades, reflecting a pattern of repeat engagement with proven performers in facility maintenance and renovation. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability and performance history, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, quality control, and timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure services. Dunlavey demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 50% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and 30% specifically reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underrepresented contractors while maintaining high standards of performance. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation across multiple socioeconomic categories, aligning with federal goals for equitable access to government contracts. His technical focus centers on NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 238340 (tile and terrazzo), 561621 (security systems services), and 561730 (landscaping services), with additional emphasis on electrical contracting. He specializes in procuring integrated building systems that enhance energy efficiency, occupant safety, and regulatory compliance, particularly in aging federal facilities. His expertise lies in managing complex, multi-trade construction projects requiring precise coordination of mechanical, security, and aesthetic improvements to meet federal standards.
