Rick Widerman

Rick Widerman serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, responsible for managing commercial real estate acquisitions to support federal agency workspace requirements nationwide. He oversees the leasing and long-term occupancy of nonresidential properties, ensuring federal facilities are secured in alignment with efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness mandates. His portfolio centers on strategic real estate transactions that optimize the federal footprint, often involving complex lease negotiations, space planning, and compliance with GSA’s real property policies. Widerman’s acquisitions are exclusively focused on commercial office and nonresidential space, making him a critical liaison between federal agencies and private property owners. Widerman maintains consistent relationships with a select group of experienced 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 typically large-scale property holders with established portfolios of Class A and Class B office buildings in high-demand federal corridors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, stable partnerships with entities capable of delivering turnkey leased space solutions, often involving build-to-suit or leasehold improvement components under GSA’s Broker Services framework. Widerman’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 optimal space solutions based on location, quality, and operational suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not a primary contracting mechanism in his portfolio, his approach remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and prioritizes value-driven outcomes. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—making him a specialist in commercial lease acquisition for federal use. He procures turnkey office environments, including build-to-suit developments, lease renewals, and space expansions, with deep familiarity in property zoning, tenant improvement allowances, and federal real property compliance standards.
