Wendy Thompson

Wendy J. Thompson serves as a Building Management Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R1 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in managing facility construction and maintenance acquisitions for high-priority federal infrastructure. Her responsibilities include overseeing the procurement of construction-manager-at-risk, design-build, and traditional design-bid-build contracts for federal buildings, with a strategic focus on land ports of entry and naval installations. Thompson ensures compliance with federal construction standards and integrates sustainability and resilience requirements into acquisition planning, directly supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and modernized federal facilities. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PIKE DEW JV GP and J & J CONTRACTORS, INC., partnering primarily with experienced general contractors and specialty trade firms experienced in federal construction environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative project delivery models and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality, safety, and schedule adherence. Thompson engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing technical capability and past performance in evaluation criteria. Thompson demonstrates an exceptional commitment to small business participation, with 98.2% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation across all socioeconomic categories, aligning with GSA’s mandate to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. This robust small business focus ensures broad market access and promotes economic inclusion within federal construction markets. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220), electrical systems (238210), and other specialty trades (238990). She specializes in complex building systems integration, roofing, and mechanical infrastructure upgrades, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal facility modernization and life-cycle maintenance contracting.
