Sharla Andrews

Sharla Andrews serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s Acquisition Management Division at the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex construction and design procurements for federal infrastructure projects. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and managing contract awards for courthouses, federal office buildings, and related support facilities. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities through integrated lifecycle management. Her portfolio primarily consists of architectural services and commercial/institutional construction contracts, requiring deep technical understanding of building codes, design standards, and construction delivery methods. Sharla maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key contractor delivering site development and construction services across multiple federal sites. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear scope definition, and rigorous contractor accountability. She engages with a select group of experienced vendors who demonstrate proven capacity in delivering high-quality, mission-critical infrastructure under stringent federal requirements, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate 25% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance underscores her commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising acquisition efficiency or project integrity. She actively promotes equitable access for qualified small businesses while prioritizing value and capability in source selection. Sharla’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), where she manages design-phase contracts for federal facilities, and NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), overseeing construction execution. Her expertise spans building systems integration, sustainable design practices, and construction management frameworks, positioning her as a trusted expert in the federal built environment sector.
