Terrie A. Latimer

Terrie A. Latimer serves as a Contract Negotiator within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 2 (47PM02), part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she leads the negotiation and execution of complex construction and design-build contracts critical to modernizing federal infrastructure across the National Capital Region. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of delivering high-performance, sustainable facilities. Latimer primarily handles integrated design-build procurements under FAR Part 36, as well as professional services contracts for architectural and engineering support, often coordinating with project managers, engineers, and legal counsel to align contract terms with technical requirements and lifecycle objectives. Latimer collaborates with a diverse pool of prime contractors, including large architectural firms, construction management firms, and design-build teams with proven experience in federal facilities. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages vendors with demonstrated expertise in high-visibility federal projects, emphasizing performance-based contracting and risk-sharing mechanisms. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on collaboration, transparency, and adherence to quality standards, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and regulatory compliance. Latimer’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with approximately 10% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach ensures equitable access for small businesses while maintaining rigorous performance benchmarks, aligning with GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), which accounts for 70% of her activity, followed by commercial and institutional construction (236220), construction machinery manufacturing (333120), and management consulting services (541611). She specializes in procuring comprehensive design services, facility modernization packages, and integrated construction solutions that support long-term operational efficiency and placemaking objectives across federal campuses.
