Sara Chan

Sara Chan serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Acquisition Services unit of the United States Government Publishing Office, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain critical federal infrastructure in Washington, D.C. While not a primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction and specialized equipment acquisitions. Her work centers on commercial and institutional building systems, including plumbing, electrical, and lighting infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with the agency’s long-term capital improvement goals. She collaborates closely with contracting officers to ensure technical requirements are accurately defined and that procurements adhere to statutory and regulatory frameworks. Chan maintains consistent working relationships with two primary contractors—F.L. Pinto Companies, LLC and Compass 360 Solutions LLC—both of which provide specialized construction and technical services for federal facility modernization. Her engagement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors with proven track records in federal building systems, particularly in complex renovation and infrastructure upgrades. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagement across multiple contract actions, indicating a reliance on vendor reliability, technical expertise, and past performance in delivering mission-critical outcomes. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions competed openly under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission readiness and infrastructure integrity above targeted small business participation. Chan’s core technical focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) and 335139 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in utility infrastructure and advanced lighting systems for federal buildings. She routinely oversees procurements for high-efficiency lighting retrofits, electrical distribution upgrades, and plumbing system replacements, demonstrating expertise in integrating modern, energy-efficient technologies into aging federal facilities.
