Tricia

Tricia serves as a Contracts Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for commercial and institutional building construction projects. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, coordinates requirements development, evaluates proposals, and administers contracts to support mission-critical infrastructure needs. Her role is central to delivering efficient, transparent, and legally sound acquisitions that align with agency objectives and public accountability standards. Tricia routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for construction services, including new builds, renovations, and facility modernization efforts. Tricia collaborates with a broad spectrum of general contractors, specialty trade firms, and construction management providers, fostering relationships grounded in competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing proven experience in commercial construction, project delivery methods such as design-build, and adherence to safety and quality standards under OSHA and building code requirements. Her approach emphasizes fair competition, clear contract terms, and diligent post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and timely project execution. Tricia’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that prioritize technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her processes remain fully compliant with all small business participation requirements, and she actively ensures that small businesses have equitable access to bid opportunities through open solicitations and clear solicitation language. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing the design, construction, and renovation of office complexes, educational facilities, administrative buildings, and other non-residential structures. Tricia possesses deep expertise in evaluating contractor qualifications, construction methodologies, and compliance with building codes and sustainability standards, making her a key steward of public infrastructure investments.
