Virginia D Burwell

Virginia D. Burwell serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R00 Acquisition Support Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements for professional and technical services essential to federal facility lifecycle management. Her responsibilities include managing the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for services supporting sustainable construction, energy resilience, and workforce development initiatives. She specializes in complex, requirements-driven contracts that align with federal building modernization goals, often coordinating with architects, engineers, and environmental consultants to ensure compliance with sustainability standards and federal procurement regulations. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Burwell maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of professional service providers, including firms specializing in real estate appraisal, technical consulting, and institutional support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitively awarded, performance-based contracts that emphasize accountability, innovation, and regulatory compliance. She routinely engages with both large-capability firms and small business subcontractors to ensure robust market participation and technical excellence across project scopes. Burwell’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 86.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and value-driven outcomes. However, she actively supports socioeconomic goals, with 12.8% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 1.0% awarded through 8(a) competed processes, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business inclusion. Her primary NAICS focus includes 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in 531320 (Real Estate Appraisers), 611310 (Colleges and Universities), and 813920 (Professional Organizations). This reflects her expertise in procuring specialized services such as facility condition assessments, energy audits, training programs, and organizational consulting critical to federal building operations and workforce development.
