Rick Heilmann

Rick Heilmann serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where he manages the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace requirements nationwide. His role centers on executing lease agreements for nonresidential properties, ensuring optimal federal footprints through strategic space planning and market-driven negotiations. Heilmann specializes in real estate leasing transactions under the General Services Administration’s authority, coordinating with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to secure secure, efficient, and cost-effective facilities for federal operations. His acquisitions are exclusively focused on leasehold interests in office, laboratory, and mixed-use commercial properties. Heilmann maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of institutional real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These entities are primarily large-scale property holders with portfolios of Class A and B commercial buildings in high-demand federal corridors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced landlords with proven track records in GSA compliance, lease administration, and facility management, indicating a reliance on long-term, low-risk partnerships rather than transactional vendor engagement. Heilmann’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the most suitable space based on location, condition, and operational needs, rather than socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not a formal priority in his portfolio, the absence of set-asides does not indicate exclusion—it signals a procurement strategy anchored in property suitability and federal mission alignment. His primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 531190, Lessors of Other Real Estate Property, encompassing the full lifecycle of commercial lease acquisition—from market analysis and due diligence to lease execution and facility handover. Heilmann’s expertise lies in navigating complex real estate markets, evaluating building compliance with federal standards, and structuring leases that meet GSA’s financial and operational requirements.
