Hillary M. Johnson

Hillary M. Johnson, as Contractor-Assistant Vice President with Spaulding & Slye Colliers, supports the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 3 in executing strategic real estate acquisition and facility management contracts. In this advisory capacity, she plays a critical role in shaping procurement strategy for federal commercial and institutional real estate, overseeing lease negotiations, property acquisition analyses, and long-term facility planning. Her work ensures federal agencies receive secure, efficient, and sustainably managed workspaces through market-driven real estate solutions aligned with GSA’s mission to optimize the federal footprint. Johnson collaborates primarily with commercial real estate firms, property managers, and leasing brokers, fostering partnerships grounded in market transparency and performance-based outcomes. She engages with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in nonresidential property leasing and real estate services, maintaining a vendor ecosystem that emphasizes reliability, compliance, and operational scalability. Her contracting approach prioritizes long-term value over transactional engagements, encouraging vendor accountability through performance metrics and lease compliance frameworks. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions are driven by market readiness, property suitability, and alignment with federal space standards rather than socioeconomic criteria. This reflects a mission-focused approach centered on facility functionality over socioeconomic targeting. Johnson’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), which accounts for over 80% of her activity, with secondary focus on related real estate services including property management and commercial leasing. She specializes in procuring long-term leases for federal office space, renovations tied to occupancy needs, and integrated facility support services, demonstrating deep technical fluency in commercial real estate law, lease structuring, and federal property utilization standards.
