Peggy Jewett

Peggy S. Jewett serves as a Contracting Officer for the Public Buildings Service’s R6 Construction Acquisition Branch, where she manages the full lifecycle of federal construction and renovation contracts to support mission-critical infrastructure for federal agencies. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on ensuring compliance, value, and operational readiness. She specializes in complex building projects requiring coordination among architects, engineers, and specialty trade contractors to deliver safe, sustainable, and code-compliant facilities. Jewett cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of contractors, primarily in commercial and institutional construction, hotel and motel renovations, and specialty trade services. She works closely with general contractors, design-build firms, and niche specialty subcontractors to execute technically demanding projects that meet federal standards for accessibility, energy efficiency, and security. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and accountability throughout contract execution. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly one-fifth of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and over 11 percent reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation where feasible, aligning with GSA’s broader mission to foster equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Jewett’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her leadership in large-scale facility modernization. She also routinely procures services under NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels) for federal lodging conversions and NAICS 238990 for specialized trades such as roofing, electrical, and plumbing. Her expertise spans integrated project delivery, construction management, and performance-based contracting, positioning her as a key steward of federal built environment modernization.
