Heidi Schneider

Heidi Schneider serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s Property Utilization and Disposal Division under the General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for federal real property transformation projects. Her portfolio centers on strategic disposal, adaptive reuse, and infrastructure modernization of surplus federal assets, overseeing contracts for construction, site remediation, and facility conversion. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement outcomes with the agency’s mission to optimize the federal real property portfolio through efficient, mission-driven development and redevelopment initiatives. Schneider cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, specialty trade services, and engineering support. She works closely with general contractors, environmental remediation firms, and design-build teams to deliver complex property revitalization projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and integrated project delivery models, fostering partnerships that prioritize lifecycle cost efficiency and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of her acquisitions structured as set-asides—primarily Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed awards. While the majority of her contracts are unrestricted, she consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs to expand market access for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, demonstrating a balanced approach between competition and inclusion. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by 238990 (Specialty Trade Contractors) and 541330 (Engineering Services). She regularly procures services related to structural renovations, HVAC system upgrades, environmental compliance, and integrated building automation systems, reflecting deep expertise in federal facility modernization and sustainable construction practices.
