Shapari Pakroo

Shapari H. Pakroo serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R11 Construction Services Division Center 1, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, Pakroo manages the full lifecycle of federal construction-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies while supporting the modernization of mission-critical federal facilities in the National Capital Region. Their work centers on integrated design-build and facility upgrade projects, with a focus on architectural services and administrative management consulting to enable efficient, sustainable, and historically sensitive infrastructure development. Pakroo plays a pivotal role in translating agency mission needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that align with GSA’s strategic goals for federal real estate excellence. Pakroo collaborates closely with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in architectural design, construction management, and facility systems integration. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage firms with proven expertise in federal construction delivery, including those experienced in historic preservation, sustainable design, and integrated project delivery methods. Their contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance and accountability. Pakroo’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally structured through set-asides, Pakroo maintains adherence to all applicable small business goals and encourages participation through unrestricted competitions. The primary NAICS codes under Pakroo’s purview are 541611 for administrative and management consulting services and 541310 for architectural services. Their acquisitions routinely support facility planning, design, project management, and compliance with federal building standards, reflecting deep expertise in the technical and regulatory demands of federal construction delivery systems.
