Rosalind Cherry

Rosalind L. Cherry serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s Acquisition Management Division (PBS R4 AMD) at the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and facility support acquisitions. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement activities for federal infrastructure projects, including design-build, renovation, and maintenance contracts for courthouses and federal office complexes. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities through integrated contracting solutions grounded in FAR compliance and performance-based acquisition strategies. Cherry maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for commercial and institutional construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to federal construction standards. She routinely engages with contractors possessing specialized expertise in building envelope systems, structural upgrades, and facility modernization, fostering collaborative relationships that ensure project delivery aligned with GSA’s quality and sustainability benchmarks. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively promotes small business participation, consistently awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Cherry’s portfolio is heavily focused on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), underscoring her technical expertise in envelope systems, structural renovations, and integrated building services. She also procures specialized work in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220) and professional design services (541990), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to facility lifecycle management.
