Theodora Veresses-Kohlweiss

Theodora Veresses-Kohlweiss serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical facility support services for federal buildings nationwide. She manages a specialized portfolio centered on janitorial and building operations contracts, ensuring the cleanliness, safety, and operational readiness of federal infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to modernize and sustain the government’s physical assets through efficient, compliant contracting practices. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a focus on performance-based service delivery and lifecycle maintenance requirements. Her primary contractor relationship is with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a long-standing vendor providing comprehensive facility support services across multiple federal sites. Veresses-Kohlweiss fosters consistent, performance-driven partnerships with this contractor, leveraging established contract vehicles to ensure seamless service continuity and accountability. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and measurable outcomes, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven experience in federal facility operations and environmental standards. She maintains a 100% commitment to 8(a) competed set-asides, consistently directing all relevant acquisitions to small businesses certified under the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program. This reflects a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals and a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity for disadvantaged entrepreneurs within the federal services sector. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong institutional emphasis on small business inclusion and equitable access to government opportunities. Her technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing custodial, waste management, sanitization, and facility maintenance operations. She specializes in procuring services that meet stringent federal hygiene, safety, and sustainability standards, including green cleaning protocols and energy-efficient equipment integration. Her domain knowledge ensures that contracted services align with the operational demands of high-traffic federal buildings and comply with GSA and OMB guidance on facility support performance metrics.
