Sandy Cyres

Sandy Cyres serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s Eastern region under the General Services Administration, responsible for managing construction and facility modernization acquisitions critical to federal infrastructure resilience. Focused on ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable federal environments, Cyres oversees the full lifecycle of commercial and institutional building construction contracts, from requirements development to contract award and administration. Their work directly supports GSA’s mission to modernize aging federal facilities through energy-efficient systems, mechanical upgrades, and compliance with federal sustainability mandates, ensuring alignment with the National Environmental Policy Act and Executive Order 14057. Cyres maintains a strategic procurement approach centered on equitable access and high-performance outcomes, partnering primarily with women-owned small businesses, as reflected in a 100% set-aside preference for WOSB firms. This consistent focus underscores a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, fostering long-term vendor relationships with certified small businesses capable of delivering complex construction services under stringent federal standards. Vendor partnerships are built on performance-based metrics, quality assurance protocols, and adherence to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, reinforcing accountability and workforce development. The procurement portfolio is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, encompassing new builds, renovations, and major system retrofits—including HVAC, elevators, roofing, and structural upgrades. Cyres specializes in procuring integrated building systems that meet federal energy efficiency benchmarks, such as ASHRAE 90.1 and LEED standards, and prioritizes contractors with proven expertise in historic preservation, seismic retrofitting, and sustainable materials. Their technical domain expertise lies in managing high-stakes, code-compliant construction projects that enhance operational continuity while reducing lifecycle costs across federal properties in the Eastern region.
