Rachel Almeida

Rachel Almeida serves as a Procurement Technician at the General Services Administration’s PBS R9 Sansome Field Office, supporting the operational readiness of federal facilities across the San Francisco Bay Area. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of specialized custodial, grounds maintenance, and logistical support services critical to maintaining the safety, functionality, and aesthetic integrity of federal buildings. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, coordinating with program stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She primarily handles service-based procurements under the Public Buildings Service’s integrated facility services framework, with a focus on timely, sustainable, and secure facility operations. Rachel collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in local freight, household goods moving, and landscaping services. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with regional service providers capable of delivering responsive, on-site support under strict federal standards. She works closely with small and medium-sized enterprises that demonstrate capacity for reliable, compliant delivery of facility-related services, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance and regulatory adherence. Rachel demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, particularly those certified under SBA programs, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities. Her contracting patterns consistently channel awards to small firms with proven capabilities in local service delivery, reinforcing the agency’s mission to strengthen community-based economic resilience. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), which accounts for half of her portfolio, followed by NAICS 484110 (General Freight Trucking, Local) and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services). She specializes in acquiring logistical support for federal relocations and facility transitions, as well as ongoing grounds and environmental maintenance, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with facility operations and service-based contract management.
