Shila J Mabe

Shila J. Mabe serves as a Purchasing and Small Business Specialist, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency objectives through strategic sourcing, contract administration, and vendor engagement. Her work directly supports infrastructure development initiatives by facilitating timely and cost-effective delivery of construction services. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, including sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk mitigation in complex construction environments. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Mabe engages with a broad spectrum of qualified contractors capable of delivering commercial and institutional construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive fairness, transparency, and contractor accountability, fostering relationships with general contractors, specialty trade firms, and construction management firms that meet rigorous qualification and bonding standards. She prioritizes vendors with proven track records in safety compliance, schedule adherence, and quality control. Mabe’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her current portfolio, her processes remain compliant with all applicable small business goals and may include subcontracting opportunities as part of prime contract requirements. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. She specializes in acquiring services related to new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for office, educational, and public service buildings. Her technical expertise includes interpreting architectural and engineering specifications, evaluating contractor capabilities in structural systems and building codes, and managing contracts for design-build and traditional bid-build delivery methods.
