Aaron Heier

Aaron Heier serves as a Lease Contracting Specialist within the Pbs R10 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he is responsible for acquiring and managing nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations across the Pacific Northwest. His role centers on executing full-cycle lease acquisitions—from market research and requirements definition to contract award and administration—ensuring that federal workspace solutions align with mission needs, cost-efficiency goals, and sustainability standards. He primarily handles complex real estate procurement actions under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, focusing on long-term lease agreements for office and operational facilities. Heier collaborates with a broad network of commercial real estate owners, property managers, and leasing brokers who specialize in federal-grade office space. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing experience in federal compliance, building code adherence, and security infrastructure integration. His working relationships emphasize transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based lease terms that ensure tenant satisfaction and fiscal accountability. Heier’s procurement activity reflects a 100% preference for unrestricted, open competitions, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition to achieve optimal value and facility suitability, consistent with the agency’s mandate to secure the most efficient space solutions regardless of vendor size or status. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 91.7% of his activity, with supplementary activity under NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). He specializes in procuring turnkey office leases, including build-to-suit arrangements, tenant improvements, and energy-efficient retrofits, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real estate acquisition standards and facility management requirements.
