Shanda Weekes

Shanda Weekes serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for commercial and institutional building construction projects. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, conducts market research, develops solicitation documents, and evaluates proposals to secure high-quality construction services that meet agency mission needs. Her role is central to delivering infrastructure solutions through transparent, competitive, and efficient contracting processes. She typically handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for new construction, renovation, and facility modernization efforts within the commercial and institutional sector. While specific contractor names are not available, Weekes engages with a broad spectrum of qualified construction firms, including general contractors, specialty trade subcontractors, and design-build teams. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contract administration rigor to ensure timely delivery and quality outcomes. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical competence, financial stability, and adherence to safety and regulatory standards. Weekes maintains a strong preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awarded contracts proceeding under full and open competition. This pattern reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most capable performers regardless of socioeconomic status, while still complying with all applicable small business policies. She does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead emphasizing merit-based selection grounded in technical evaluation and past performance. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing office buildings, educational facilities, government administrative centers, and mixed-use developments. She specializes in procuring design-build services, construction management at-risk, and turnkey solutions involving structural, mechanical, and electrical systems. Weekes possesses deep expertise in construction contract types, bid protest avoidance, and performance-based acquisition methods tailored to complex building projects.
