Thomas Hixson

Thomas Hixson serves as a Broker within the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a critical role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. His responsibilities center on leasing nonresidential office space through negotiated agreements, ensuring federal agencies receive secure, efficient, and cost-effective workspaces aligned with strategic footprint optimization goals. Hixson specializes in lease acquisitions under the 531120 NAICS code, managing end-to-end procurement processes from market analysis and site evaluation to lease execution and compliance with federal real property regulations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial 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 partnerships are primarily transactional and asset-focused, with Hixson facilitating long-term lease arrangements for high-demand urban and suburban office properties. His approach emphasizes market-driven negotiations and portfolio-level leasing strategies, prioritizing property suitability, location alignment, and operational readiness over competitive bidding. Hixson’s procurement activity reflects a strict preference for no set-aside contracting, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This pattern underscores a mission-driven focus on securing the most suitable federal workspace without socioeconomic restrictions, aligning with PBS R00’s mandate to prioritize functional efficiency and market competitiveness. His technical expertise is narrowly concentrated in the 531120 NAICS category—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he exclusively procures commercial office space leases. He possesses deep domain knowledge in federal real property standards, lease terms, build-out allowances, and space utilization metrics, ensuring all acquisitions meet GSA’s stringent requirements for security, accessibility, and sustainability.
