Aaren Hanson

Aaren Hanson serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R7 Services and Facilities Maintenance unit under the General Services Administration, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical facilities support services to ensure the operational integrity of federal buildings nationwide. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of service contracts, Hanson specializes in integrated operations and maintenance procurements, including custodial, groundskeeping, and building systems support. Their work directly enables the agency’s mandate to sustain safe, compliant, and efficient federal infrastructure through timely, performance-based contracting approaches that emphasize reliability and regulatory adherence. Hanson maintains a consistent and strategic partnership with CLARK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, INC., a primary contractor for HVAC and mechanical systems maintenance under long-term service agreements. The working relationship reflects a pattern of sustained vendor engagement, with repeat awards based on demonstrated performance, technical competency, and compliance with federal facility standards. This reflects a preference for established, specialized service providers with proven track records in federal building operations rather than broad-spectrum vendors. All of Hanson’s procurements are structured as 8(a) competed set-asides, underscoring a robust and unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. By exclusively directing opportunities to 8(a) certified small businesses, Hanson actively advances the agency’s mission to foster equitable access to federal contracts and strengthen the capacity of disadvantaged entrepreneurs in the facilities services sector. The procurement portfolio is entirely focused on NAICS 561210—Facilities Support Services—encompassing custodial, waste management, landscaping, preventive maintenance, and building systems support. Hanson’s expertise lies in defining performance specifications for facility operations that align with GSA standards and federal sustainability directives, ensuring contractors deliver high-quality, code-compliant services across a diverse portfolio of government-owned properties.
