Stephanie Klein

Stephanie Klein serves as a Contract Specialist at the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Administration Support Center-BOS under the General Services Administration, where she manages the full lifecycle of facility-related acquisitions to support federal infrastructure operations in Region 1. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, efficient, and modern federal workspaces. She routinely handles complex procurements for construction, building systems upgrades, and integrated facilities support services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA policy while advancing operational readiness across federal properties. Klein collaborates with a diverse base of contractors specializing in commercial construction, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and facilities management. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, code-compliant work under tight operational constraints. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven experience in federal facility modernization, prioritizing reliability, safety, and long-term maintenance support. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 23.1% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes socioeconomic opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified as small business concerns, while maintaining flexibility for open competition where appropriate. Her approach balances regulatory compliance with strategic outreach to expand the pool of qualified small business vendors in the federal construction and facilities services sectors. Klein’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), reflecting her technical expertise in building envelope upgrades, mechanical systems integration, and facility operations support. She specializes in acquisitions that enhance energy efficiency, accessibility, and building system resilience, ensuring federal assets meet evolving operational and sustainability standards.
