Ken F. Meister

Ken F. Meister serves as a Real Estate Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in facilitating the acquisition of real estate services essential to federal facility operations. His responsibilities include managing land acquisition, lease negotiations, property assessments, and site selection for federal buildings and land ports of entry. He operates within the GSA’s mission to ensure secure, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure by aligning real estate transactions with strategic facility planning and integrated design-build initiatives. His procurement activities are exclusively focused on real estate brokerage and agency services, supporting the government’s need for expert representation in commercial property transactions. Meister maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of real estate service providers, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These vendors are engaged primarily for their expertise in commercial property leasing, site evaluation, and property management services tailored to federal requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, locally rooted firms with demonstrated experience in federal real estate protocols, fostering long-term partnerships built on compliance, transparency, and performance reliability. Notably, Meister’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside stance, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic targeting such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition based on technical capability and service quality rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s operational urgency and need for specialized real estate expertise across diverse geographic markets. His procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531210 — Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers — reflecting a narrow, high-specialization focus on commercial real estate brokerage services. He procures services including property leasing, tenant representation, land acquisition consulting, and facility siting analysis, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal real estate law, appraisal standards, and lease administration under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act.
