Tamara Trotter

Tamara Trotter serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R7 Program Support – Capital and IDIQ, where she manages complex construction and infrastructure acquisitions critical to federal border security operations. Her role centers on executing design-build and integrated project delivery contracts for Land Ports of Entry and associated roadway systems, ensuring compliance with federal building standards and resilience requirements. She oversees the full lifecycle of capital projects—from requirements development through contract award and administration—partnering with architectural, engineering, and construction firms to deliver secure, efficient, and mission-critical federal facilities nationwide. Trotter maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors including PDG, INC. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which have demonstrated proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction for federal clients. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated project delivery models, and long-term vendor partnerships built on technical proficiency and reliability. She frequently engages contractors with demonstrated capacity in managing high-stakes infrastructure projects under stringent security and environmental compliance frameworks. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition within the federal construction sector. While no set-aside awards are also issued, the overwhelming preference for small business eligibility underscores her dedication to socioeconomic contracting goals and workforce development in underserved communities. Trotter’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing the design, renovation, and new construction of federal border infrastructure. She specializes in procuring integrated architectural, engineering, and construction services for secure, high-traffic facilities, with deep technical expertise in security-enhanced building systems, site development, and infrastructure modernization aligned with GSA and DHS standards.
