Paul Romero

Paul Romero serves as a procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he oversees the acquisition of critical facility infrastructure and building systems for federal properties nationwide. His role centers on managing design-build and integrated service contracts that ensure the safety, functionality, and operational efficiency of federal buildings and land ports of entry. Romero specializes in complex construction and building services procurements, primarily executing contracts under FAR Part 36 and utilizing performance-based service acquisition methodologies to deliver long-term facility sustainment solutions. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., all of whom provide specialized trade services essential to federal facility operations. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality execution and adherence to federal construction standards. Romero demonstrates a firm commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small contractors, ensuring that federally funded facility upgrades and maintenance services actively support small business growth and workforce development across the nation. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where he procures comprehensive HVAC, mechanical, and building systems integration services. This specialization underscores his expertise in managing high-stakes, mission-critical building infrastructure projects that require precise technical oversight, energy efficiency compliance, and seamless integration with federal facility standards.
