Curley Ohio

Curley Ohio serves as a key procurement lead within the NIH A E Construction office, responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential building leasing services critical to sustaining the National Institutes of Health’s biomedical research infrastructure. In this role, Curley oversees the full lifecycle of facility-related contracts, ensuring alignment with federal construction standards, safety regulations, and mission-critical operational continuity. Their acquisitions focus exclusively on long-term lease arrangements for purpose-built research facilities, including specialized laboratory spaces, utility-upgraded buildings, and secure technical environments required for sensitive scientific operations. Curley’s work directly supports NIH’s strategic imperative to modernize and expand physical research capacity while maintaining compliance with federal building codes and environmental controls. Curley maintains a streamlined contracting approach, engaging primarily with commercial real estate developers and institutional property lessors experienced in federal facility leasing. These vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term contractual relationships built on demonstrated compliance with GSA and NIH facility standards, including HVAC system performance, radiation shielding, and biocontainment compatibility. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, Curley consistently evaluates proposers based on technical capability, facility certification history, and past performance in federal research environments. Curley’s procurement activity reflects a firm preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes broad market access and technical suitability over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the highest standards of facility performance and mission readiness. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on merit, with selection criteria centered on compliance, reliability, and infrastructure readiness. The agency’s procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120, reflecting an exclusive focus on the lessor of nonresidential buildings. Curley specializes in procuring fully equipped, mission-ready research facilities—often with integrated power redundancy, chemical exhaust systems, and modular lab configurations—rather than construction or renovation services. Their expertise lies in evaluating lease structures that support continuous, high-throughput biomedical operations under stringent federal regulatory frameworks.
