Daniel Keith Higgins

Daniel Higgins serves as a Leasing Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition and management of nonresidential real property and related infrastructure services to support federal operational needs. In this role, he facilitates long-term leasing arrangements for office space, data centers, and technical facilities, ensuring compliance with federal property management regulations and maximizing value through strategic sourcing. His procurement activities are integral to the agency’s mission of maintaining secure, efficient, and scalable physical environments for mission-critical operations, with a focus on integrated facility solutions that align with modern workplace and technology requirements. Higgins collaborates with a diverse range of commercial lessors and service providers, particularly those specializing in commercial real estate leasing, facility management, and technical infrastructure support. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, his procurement pattern suggests consistent engagement with large-scale property managers, real estate investment trusts, and third-party facilities service vendors who offer turnkey leasing solutions. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based outcomes, lease term optimization, and lifecycle cost analysis rather than transactional procurement. Higgins demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a primary emphasis on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a procurement strategy centered on broad vendor access and operational efficiency, with no apparent reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and computing infrastructure services (518210 and 541512). He routinely procures leasehold improvements, managed data center services, network cabling, and administrative management consulting to support facility modernization and technology integration initiatives, demonstrating expertise in the intersection of real estate and mission-critical IT infrastructure.
