Carson Erard

Mr. Carson Erard serves as a contracting professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he oversees the acquisition of nonresidential building leasing and related facility support services for federal infrastructure. His role is central to the agency’s mission of ensuring safe, functional, and efficient federal buildings nationwide, with a focus on integrated design-build solutions and long-term operational support. He manages full lifecycle procurement actions for real property leases, including site selection, lease negotiation, and performance-based service delivery, primarily under the 531120 NAICS code. His acquisitions directly enable the operational readiness of federal facilities, including land ports of entry and administrative buildings, through strategic sourcing and contract administration. Mr. Erard maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in facility maintenance, site development, and security-integrated building services. His procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with proven performance in federal real property management, suggesting a focus on reliability, compliance, and continuity rather than frequent vendor rotation. Mr. Erard’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes over targeted small business preferences, aligning with the agency’s operational scale and the specialized nature of nonresidential leasing services. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—which encompasses long-term lease agreements for federal occupancy, building management services, and associated infrastructure support. He specializes in procuring turnkey facility solutions that include maintenance, utilities, security, and environmental compliance, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real estate acquisition and facility lifecycle management.
