Stephanie Mathless

Stephanie Mathless serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, overseeing the acquisition of construction and facility support services for federal buildings nationwide. She manages complex contracting actions centered on commercial and institutional building construction, building systems modernization, and mission-critical renovation projects. Her work directly supports the General Services Administration’s mandate to maintain and upgrade the federal government’s physical infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal building standards and sustainability goals. Mathless handles a portfolio of design-build, renovation, and integrated facility services contracts, often coordinating with architects, engineers, and specialty contractors to deliver high-performance environments for federal agencies. She maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted contractor with deep expertise in federal facility upgrades. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with contractors who demonstrate proven experience in federal building codes, phased construction execution, and minimal disruption to occupied federal spaces. These partnerships are built on performance reliability, compliance with Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage requirements, and adherence to GSA’s sustainable design guidelines. Mathless demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 72% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, veteran-owned, and disadvantaged firms, aligning with FAR 19.5 and GSA’s small business goals. She actively structures solicitations to maximize participation from eligible small businesses while maintaining competitive integrity. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she procures interior renovations, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, and accessibility modifications under the Americans with Disabilities Act. She also engages NAICS 238290 contractors for specialized building equipment installations, demonstrating expertise in integrating modern building systems into aging federal infrastructure while ensuring long-term operational efficiency.
