Rosemary S. Russo

Rosemary S. Russo serves as a Program Analyst with the PBS R1 National Contracts Team under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a critical role in supporting the acquisition of construction, design, and technical services for federal facilities. Her responsibilities include coordinating procurement strategy, evaluating contractor capabilities, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for architectural, engineering, and construction-related contracts. She works closely with project managers and contracting officers to align acquisition plans with the agency’s mission of modernizing federal infrastructure, focusing on commercial and institutional building projects that require integrated design-build and professional services solutions. While specific contractor names are not available, Ms. Russo engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors, including large architectural and engineering firms, construction management contractors, and technical service providers specializing in facility modernization. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, lifecycle cost analysis, and risk mitigation strategies to ensure delivery of high-quality, mission-critical infrastructure services. She facilitates collaborative procurement processes that prioritize technical excellence, schedule adherence, and regulatory compliance. Ms. Russo’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective offers without socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the scale and complexity of large-scale federal construction and design projects. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her work remains fully compliant with all federal socioeconomic contracting requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to architectural and engineering services, building construction, and specialized technical support for federal facilities. She routinely handles acquisitions for design-build services, structural renovations, energy efficiency upgrades, and integrated building systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical and regulatory frameworks governing federal construction procurement.
