Gary Hitt

Gary Hitt serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R10 Services Acquisitions Branch under the General Services Administration, where he manages the acquisition of integrated facilities support services essential to sustaining federal building operations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of operational and maintenance contracts, ensuring compliance with federal facility standards, accessibility requirements, and infrastructure resilience benchmarks. He specializes in soliciting and awarding service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 authorities, with a focus on performance-based outcomes and lifecycle cost efficiency. Hitt maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of service providers, primarily small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB entities. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance accountability, quality assurance, and compliance with federal facility management standards. He routinely engages contractors capable of delivering holistic facilities support, including preventive maintenance, custodial services, and environmental compliance, fostering a contractor ecosystem that prioritizes reliability and regulatory adherence. Hitt’s procurement strategy is uniformly oriented toward small business set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions designated for full small business competition under FAR 19.5. This reflects a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic equity and the empowerment of small, disadvantaged firms in federal facilities management. His contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to small businesses capable of meeting the technical demands of federal building operations, reinforcing GSA’s mission to promote inclusive economic growth through procurement. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing custodial, groundskeeping, waste management, and energy conservation services, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services). He procures comprehensive, integrated facility management solutions that ensure safe, accessible, and resilient federal workspaces, demonstrating deep expertise in performance work statements, service-level agreements, and facility operations compliance.
