Sherri Edwards

Sherri M. Edwards serves as a Contracting Officer with the PBS R1 National Contracts Team under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services to modernize federal facilities. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, design, and technical services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain and upgrade federal buildings. She routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts for commercial and institutional construction, building inspection, and facility management services, balancing operational needs with fiscal accountability and regulatory rigor. Sherri collaborates with a diverse pool of contractors, including general contractors, architectural and engineering firms, and specialized service providers delivering facility operations and management consulting. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she cultivates long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated design-build solutions and technical advisory services across federal sites. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based contracting, and vendor accountability to ensure quality outcomes and mission readiness. Sherri demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 40% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides—20% under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program and another 20% designated for HUBZone firms. Her consistent use of these authorities reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underserved businesses while maintaining a robust, capable contractor base. She actively encourages small business subcontracting and prioritizes compliance with small business participation goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), 541350 (Building Inspection Services), 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She specializes in acquiring services that support facility integrity, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency, demonstrating deep expertise in construction management, facility assessments, and institutional support contracting.
