Patrick J. McCarthy

Patrick J. McCarthy serves as a Program Specialist within the PBS R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition of commercial and institutional construction services for federal facilities nationwide. His responsibilities include overseeing the full lifecycle of procurement activities for interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical facility support projects. McCarthy ensures alignment with federal construction standards and GSA’s strategic infrastructure modernization goals, coordinating closely with design teams, project managers, and contractors to deliver high-performance, code-compliant outcomes across the federal real estate portfolio. McCarthy maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for complex interior renovation and facility modernization efforts. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven expertise in commercial building construction and federal compliance protocols. These relationships are built on consistent delivery, transparent communication, and adherence to stringent quality control requirements. McCarthy’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified and capable contractors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and past performance over targeted program participation. While small business participation is not formally mandated in his portfolio, he remains compliant with all federal procurement regulations and may consider small business subcontracting plans as part of evaluated proposals. His primary technical domain centers on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where he procures comprehensive construction services including demolition, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, interior finishes, and ADA-compliant modifications. McCarthy’s expertise lies in managing high-stakes, occupant-sensitive renovations within active federal buildings, requiring meticulous coordination, phased execution, and strict adherence to federal building codes and sustainability standards.
