Sue C. Gunderson

Sue C. Gunderson serves as a Procurement Technician within the PBS R10 Services Acquisitions Branch of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a vital role in executing operational and maintenance support acquisitions for federal facilities. Her responsibilities include preparing and processing solicitation documents, coordinating with technical evaluators, managing contract administration workflows, and ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. She supports the branch’s mission to sustain safe, accessible, and resilient federal infrastructure by facilitating the acquisition of integrated facilities management services, including building operations, custodial support, energy management, and accessibility compliance solutions. While specific contractor names are not available, Gunderson maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of vendors delivering facilities services across the federal spectrum. Her procurement activities involve close collaboration with prime contractors, subcontractors, and service providers specializing in building systems maintenance, groundskeeping, and environmental compliance. She ensures adherence to performance-based contracting standards and fosters transparent, efficient vendor interactions throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Gunderson’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating 25% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a balanced commitment to both market competitiveness and socioeconomic goals, though no evidence suggests preferential use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs at this time. Her procurement focus centers on facilities services, with primary emphasis on NAICS categories related to building maintenance, custodial services, and infrastructure support. She routinely handles contracts for janitorial, pest control, HVAC maintenance, landscaping, and accessibility upgrades, ensuring federal buildings meet federal accessibility standards and operational efficiency benchmarks. Her expertise lies in translating facility needs into clear, compliant solicitations that attract qualified service providers.
