Sonia Ashfaq

Sonia Ashfaq serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 1, part of the General Services Administration, where she oversees the acquisition of integrated design-build and construction services for federal facilities across the National Capital Region. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to modernize, preserve, and sustain mission-critical infrastructure. She specializes in complex, high-stakes building projects involving historic preservation, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure resilience, typically handling large-scale commercial and institutional construction acquisitions under FAR Part 36. Ashfaq maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of construction contractors, including general contractors, design-build firms, and specialty subcontractors experienced in federal facility work. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for partners with proven expertise in federal construction standards, sustainable building practices, and project delivery methods such as design-build and construction manager-at-risk. She fosters transparent, performance-based partnerships that emphasize safety, quality control, and timely delivery of federally funded infrastructure. Her procurement strategy is heavily weighted toward small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strong institutional commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and women-owned small business programs. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic goals, ensuring broad access to federal construction contracts for underserved entrepreneurs while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Ashfaq’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—indicating deep specialization in the design and construction of federal office buildings, courthouses, and other institutional facilities. Her technical expertise spans building systems integration, historic rehabilitation, and sustainable construction methods, ensuring that all projects meet federal sustainability mandates and operational requirements for long-term facility performance.
