Sarah L Robinson

Sarah L. Robinson serves as a Contracting Officer for the PBS R1 National Contracts Team within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition of critical construction, design, and technical services to modernize federal infrastructure. She manages full lifecycle procurement actions for commercial and institutional building projects, including architectural planning, engineering services, and construction contracting, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with GSA’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities. Her work directly supports the agency’s goal of maintaining and upgrading the nation’s public buildings through strategic, transparent, and competitively awarded contracts. Robinson cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in building construction, architectural design, and specialty trade services. She engages with both large prime contractors and qualified small business subcontractors, fostering partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation under FAR Part 36 and utilizes performance-based service contracts to drive quality outcomes in facility modernization efforts. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent 12.5% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while actively supporting small business participation across socioeconomic categories, including SBA-certified small businesses and women-owned firms. Robinson’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), 238150 (Glass and Glazing Contractors), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her expertise in integrated facility projects requiring coordinated design and construction delivery. She routinely procures comprehensive building services—from structural renovations to envelope systems—ensuring federal facilities meet modern standards for safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency.
