Raymond Panaguiton

Raymond H. Panaguiton serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and professional services acquisitions to support federal infrastructure nationwide. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation through award and administration—he ensures compliance with FAR regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modernized federal buildings and land ports of entry. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build construction, facility modernization, and integrated building services, requiring close coordination with architects, engineers, and general contractors to meet stringent federal standards. Panaguiton maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., reflecting a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering high-quality, mission-critical services across diverse geographic regions. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and responsiveness, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that support sustained operational readiness across federal facilities. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Panaguiton prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with over half of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 22.2% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based contractors, aligning with GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals and enhancing workforce diversity in federal construction and services sectors. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in architectural services (541310) and engineering services (541330). He routinely procures integrated design-build solutions, facility upgrades, and related professional services, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal construction standards, building codes, and performance-based contracting methodologies.
