Rita Perez

Rita Perez serves as a procurement specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she manages the acquisition of facility support services critical to the operational integrity of federal buildings nationwide. Her role centers on executing contract actions for interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical administrative services that sustain federal infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic goals of modernization, sustainability, and operational efficiency. Her portfolio primarily involves service-based contracts requiring precise coordination between facility managers, engineers, and contractors to deliver seamless support across the federal real estate portfolio. Perez maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based contractor specializing in facility maintenance and site support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, locally rooted vendors with proven capacity in federal building operations, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability and regulatory compliance. These relationships are cultivated through repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures that incentivize quality and timeliness in facility support delivery. Her procurement strategy is fully aligned with HUBZone set-aside preferences, with 100% of her awarded contracts designated for HUBZone-certified small businesses. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to economic development in historically underutilized zones and a deliberate effort to channel federal spending toward geographically targeted small businesses with demonstrated community ties and workforce development capabilities. Perez’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561110—Office Administrative Services—encompassing custodial, security, grounds maintenance, waste management, and facility operations support. Her expertise lies in structuring service contracts that ensure continuous, high-standard operations in federal buildings, with an emphasis on performance metrics, lifecycle management, and compliance with GSA and OMB guidelines for facility sustainment. She specializes in integrating service delivery with federal workplace standards and sustainability mandates.
