Tim Sheckler

Timothy Sheckler serves as a key procurement lead within the PBS R11 Portfolio Outlease under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, managing specialized contracts to sustain federal facilities with unique operational requirements, including recreational and residential infrastructure. His role centers on acquiring non-core building services essential to facility safety, functionality, and compliance, ensuring that mission-critical support functions are delivered efficiently without diverting resources from core government operations. He routinely handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, focusing on performance-based contracting models that emphasize outcomes over inputs. Sheckler maintains a balanced contractor ecosystem, engaging both large-capacity service providers and small businesses to deliver specialized building support services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his procurement patterns reflect consistent collaboration with vendors capable of delivering integrated facility maintenance, custodial services, grounds management, and real estate support. He favors vendors with proven experience in federal facility operations and a demonstrated ability to meet stringent compliance and security standards. His contracting strategy reflects a deliberate 50% allocation to Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. He consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses across all categories, fostering a competitive environment that encourages innovation and local economic impact without compromising service quality or operational reliability. Sheckler’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) and NAICS 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate), encompassing custodial, pest control, landscaping, waste removal, and facility coordination services. His technical expertise centers on performance metrics for building sustainment, contract surveillance of service-level agreements, and ensuring compliance with federal environmental and accessibility standards. He is adept at structuring task orders that align with GSA’s sustainability goals and facility lifecycle management principles.
