Shelita Harper

Shelita M. Harper serves as a Procurement Technician within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R9 AMD Capital Projects unit under the General Services Administration, supporting the design, construction, and modernization of mission-critical federal facilities across the Western United States. In this role, she provides critical procurement support for complex capital projects, including federal courthouses and land ports of entry, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific acquisition protocols. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, coordinating contract administration tasks, and facilitating communication between project teams and contractors to advance high-performance infrastructure goals aligned with the Inflation Reduction Act’s resilience priorities. While specific contractor names are not available, Harper engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, architectural design, and building systems integration. Her procurement patterns reflect collaboration with both large prime contractors and specialized subcontractors, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and technical compliance over cost alone. She works closely with project engineers and facility managers to align contracting actions with design intent and operational requirements. Harper’s contracting activity demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 14.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a balanced approach to competition and socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with additional activity in architectural services (541310) and building equipment contracting (238290). She specializes in procuring integrated construction services for secure, resilient federal facilities, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications for federal building standards, energy efficiency requirements, and security infrastructure.
