Steve R. Farrington

Steve R. Farrington serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services for federal buildings and land ports of entry. He manages complex design-build, facility modernization, and building systems contracts that ensure the safety, functionality, and efficiency of federal property nationwide. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver mission-critical physical infrastructure through integrated contracting strategies, often coordinating multi-disciplinary teams to deliver turnkey solutions under FAR Part 36 and other construction-focused regulations. Farrington maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., reflecting a preference for established regional and national firms with proven expertise in facility maintenance, security systems, and site development. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with demonstrated capacity in federal compliance, timely delivery, and quality assurance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on performance history and reliability rather than frequent vendor rotation. His procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 76.5% of awards issued without set-asides, yet he maintains a deliberate commitment to small business inclusion through targeted allocations: 11.8% to Total Small Business Set-Asides, 5.9% to 8(a) competed contracts, and 5.9% to HUBZone firms. This balanced strategy ensures broad market access while sustaining competition and socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19. Farrington’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes 517919 (Other Telecommunications), 236115 (New Single-Family Housing Construction), 541330 (Engineering Services), 541370 (Surveying and Mapping), and 335311 (Power Transformer Manufacturing). His portfolio encompasses telecommunications infrastructure, structural construction, civil engineering, geospatial services, and specialized electrical systems, demonstrating deep expertise in integrated facility modernization and mission-critical utility systems for federal installations.
