Sam Ruiz

Sam Ruiz serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of real estate-related services and leasing arrangements to support federal operational needs. In this role, Ruiz ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating efficient, transparent, and mission-aligned contracts for nonresidential property leasing and real estate brokerage services. His portfolio primarily involves sole-source and competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 17, with a focus on long-term lease agreements and facility support contracts. Ruiz works closely with agency stakeholders to align real estate needs with fiscal and operational objectives, ensuring that all procurements meet statutory requirements and strategic planning goals. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the dataset, Ruiz’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with commercial real estate lessors, property management firms, and real estate brokerage services. His contracting approach emphasizes market research, fair competition, and performance-based outcomes, fostering relationships with vendors capable of delivering turnkey leasing solutions and facility management support. He prioritizes clear contract terms, robust performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure tenant satisfaction and asset utilization efficiency. Ruiz’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests an operational mandate requiring broad market access, likely driven by the specialized nature of real estate leasing, where few firms possess the scale or geographic footprint necessary to meet federal facility requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 87.5% of his activity, followed by 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) and 531210 (Real Estate Agents and Brokers). Ruiz specializes in acquiring office space, warehouse facilities, and ancillary real estate services, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial property leasing, lease negotiation, and real estate market analysis within the federal context.
