Ami Rouse - Broker Contractor, Carpenter/Robbins Commercial Real Estate, Inc.

Ami Rouse serves as a Broker Contractor supporting the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, playing a critical role in securing commercial real estate assets to meet federal workspace requirements. Responsible for facilitating lease acquisitions and property management contracts, Rouse ensures the agency’s portfolio aligns with mission-critical operational needs across the United States. Their work centers on nonresidential leasing transactions, coordinating with property owners and brokers to identify, evaluate, and secure optimal office and administrative spaces that support federal agency efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness. Rouse maintains a primary working relationship with BELLA TERRA LLC, a key commercial real estate partner engaged in leasing and property management services for federal facilities. The relationship reflects a consistent pattern of engagement with experienced commercial real estate brokers and lessors who possess deep market knowledge and proven capabilities in federal compliance, lease negotiation, and space optimization. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, transactional reliability, and adherence to federal procurement protocols. Rouse’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, rather than targeted small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in procurement structure, all contracts are awarded in full compliance with FAR requirements and competitive fairness. The primary industry focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—which accounts for 93.9% of activity—alongside NAICS 531190 for other real estate leasing. Rouse specializes in procuring commercial office space, flex buildings, and mixed-use properties suited to federal occupancy standards, demonstrating expertise in lease structuring, space planning, and real estate asset management within the federal real property domain.
