Wendy J Schlicher

Wendy J. Schlicher serves as a Contract Specialist within the PBS R1 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages end-to-end procurement for critical federal infrastructure projects. Her role centers on executing construction and facility support contracts aligned with the division’s mission to modernize high-priority federal sites, including land ports of entry and naval installations. She specializes in complex, performance-based acquisitions for mechanical systems, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and delivering resilient, energy-efficient infrastructure through integrated project delivery models. Schlicher maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors, notably PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J CONTRACTORS, INC., both of which are frequently engaged for mechanical systems integration and facility modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics, quality assurance protocols, and strict adherence to construction-manager-at-risk delivery methods. These relationships reflect a preference for proven, technically capable firms with demonstrated experience in federal facility upgrades and complex HVAC system installations. A steadfast advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Schlicher exclusively utilizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides for all her acquisitions. This unwavering commitment ensures that qualified veteran-owned firms have equitable access to high-impact infrastructure contracts, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to advance veteran economic opportunity through strategic sourcing. Her technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where she procures comprehensive mechanical systems including HVAC, hydronic piping, refrigeration, and building automation controls. She specializes in performance specifications that prioritize energy efficiency, lifecycle cost analysis, and compliance with federal sustainability standards, ensuring that all installations meet the rigorous operational demands of federal facilities.
