Shanta M Maldonado

Shanta M. Maldonado serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition of construction, renovation, and facility support services for federal buildings nationwide. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain the federal infrastructure. She primarily handles complex, high-stakes contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical facility operations, often coordinating with architects, engineers, and trade contractors to deliver secure, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities. Maldonado maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key contractor engaged in delivering comprehensive construction and site development services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contract compliance, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, reliability, and adherence to federal construction standards. While she collaborates with a range of industry participants, her pattern reflects a preference for established, experienced firms capable of executing large-scale, multi-trade facility projects. Maldonado’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than socioeconomic set-asides, while still ensuring fair access for all eligible contractors under applicable regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in architectural services (541310) and specialized trades such as plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220). She also manages contracts for professional technical services, including design and planning support, demonstrating deep expertise in integrated facility delivery models and construction-phase project management.
