Andrew Katzmann

Andrew P. Katzmann serves as a Realty Specialist responsible for managing real property acquisition, leasing, and disposition activities within the federal government’s real estate portfolio. In this role, he executes procurements under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, ensuring compliance with federal realty regulations and efficient use of government space. His responsibilities include negotiating lease agreements, conducting market analyses, and coordinating with facility managers to align real estate needs with mission objectives. Katzmann primarily handles non-residential leasing transactions, focusing on long-term space solutions for federal operations. Katzmann’s contractor relationships center on commercial real estate landlords, property management firms, and real estate brokers who specialize in office, industrial, and institutional space. He engages with a broad spectrum of private-sector lessors, typically working through competitive solicitation processes such as Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitations for Bids (IFBs). His procurement approach emphasizes transparency, market fairness, and adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 17 on leasing, ensuring all transactions are competitively sourced and cost-effective. Katzmann’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on maximizing market participation without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, his process remains fully compliant with all applicable small business outreach requirements under FAR Part 19. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—which encompasses the leasing of office, retail, and mixed-use commercial properties. He specializes in securing mission-critical facility space, evaluating lease terms, rent escalations, build-out allowances, and tenant improvement packages. Katzmann’s technical expertise lies in real property valuation, space planning, and federal real estate compliance, making him a key advisor in optimizing government footprint and operational efficiency.
