Peter J. Menzies

Peter J. Menzies serves as a Contracting Officer and Project Manager for the PBS R1 National Contracts Team within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he leads the acquisition of critical infrastructure services to modernize federal facilities. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex construction and design contracts, from requirements development and market research to award and contract administration. His portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction, as well as architectural and engineering services that support the maintenance, renovation, and expansion of federal buildings nationwide. Menzies ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable public infrastructure. Menzies cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including large prime builders, architectural firms, and specialized technical service providers. He engages with vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and clear deliverables. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, accountability, and value-driven outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality construction and design solutions under stringent federal standards. Menzies’ procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations. While he does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach remains aligned with broader GSA goals of fair and equitable access, ensuring all qualified firms have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field based on technical merit and past performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers), reflecting his oversight of both physical construction projects and specialized design services, including interior design, historic preservation, and artistic integration in federal spaces. He brings deep expertise in managing multidisciplinary contracts that blend civil engineering, architectural planning, and cultural aesthetics to meet the unique needs of federal facilities.
