Monica Hughes

Monica Hughes serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of real estate-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing mission-critical support services. She oversees the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts tied to property management, facility services, and ancillary real estate activities under NAICS 531390. Her role is central to enabling efficient agency operations through strategic sourcing, risk mitigation, and contract performance oversight, with a focus on delivering high-value, non-construction real estate services that support broader governmental infrastructure needs. Monica maintains a broad and diverse vendor network, engaging with a wide range of contractors—from large national service providers to specialized local firms—that deliver property management, leasing coordination, maintenance oversight, and real estate advisory services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently fosters collaborative, performance-based relationships grounded in clear deliverables and accountability mechanisms. Her approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and contractor responsiveness to evolving operational requirements. Monica’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of her awards issued under general competition. This indicates a focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures equitable access for all eligible vendors, aligning with agency-wide goals of fair and open competition. Her primary specialization lies in NAICS 531390, encompassing a broad spectrum of real estate support services including property administration, facility leasing, land management, and real estate consulting. She routinely procures services related to tenant coordination, space optimization, lease compliance, and real estate analytics, demonstrating deep expertise in the operational and regulatory dimensions of federal real estate management. Her technical acumen ensures that acquisitions align with both fiscal responsibility and mission readiness.
