Pia Heiges

Pia Heiges serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R7 Program Support – Capital and IDIQ, where she manages complex acquisitions for federal infrastructure modernization, particularly focused on Land Ports of Entry and associated roadway systems. Her role centers on executing design-build, architectural-engineering, and integrated construction services contracts that support national border security and federal facility resilience. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance management—ensuring alignment with federal standards for security, sustainability, and operational efficiency. Her acquisitions are mission-critical, often involving multi-disciplinary teams delivering secure, high-performance infrastructure solutions. Heiges maintains strategic relationships with core contractors including PDG, Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, site development, and construction services tailored to federal border infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors with proven track records in federal facility construction and environmental compliance. She fosters long-term, performance-based partnerships that emphasize technical excellence, schedule adherence, and adherence to federal construction codes and security protocols. She does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions competed full and open under general government procurement authorities. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the most qualified firms capable of delivering complex, high-stakes infrastructure projects. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 541620 (Software Publishers), indicating a dual emphasis on environmental compliance, site remediation, and digital infrastructure systems. She procures environmental impact assessments, geospatial modeling tools, and integrated software platforms for facility management and security operations, demonstrating deep expertise in the convergence of civil engineering and digital infrastructure within federal capital programs.
