Susan J. Lynch

Susan A. Lynch serves as a Vendor Alliance Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in fostering strategic vendor partnerships to support the modernization of federal facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities include aligning contractor capabilities with mission-critical procurement needs for construction, renovation, and facility support services. She specializes in managing complex acquisitions under FAR Part 36 and related construction contracting frameworks, ensuring compliance with federal infrastructure priorities such as building systems upgrades, interior renovations, and mission-critical operations. Lynch acts as a liaison between program stakeholders and industry, facilitating early engagement and collaborative planning to enhance contract performance and delivery outcomes. Lynch maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for commercial and institutional construction tasks. Her approach emphasizes long-term vendor alignment over transactional procurement, cultivating trusted partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated design-build and renovation services. She actively engages contractors in pre-solicitation outreach, requirement validation, and performance feedback loops to ensure alignment with GSA’s infrastructure modernization goals and quality standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate 25% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses, particularly those qualified under the general small business program, without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. Lynch’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in architectural services (541310), engineering services (541330), landscape architecture (541320), and broader business support services (561499). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services that combine design, construction, and operational support to sustain and upgrade federal infrastructure across the nation.
