Tom Hixson

Tom Hixson serves as a CRCRE Broker at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within 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 include identifying, evaluating, and negotiating leases for nonresidential office spaces, ensuring alignment with federal workspace optimization goals. Hixson specializes in full-service real estate acquisition transactions, managing the end-to-end leasing lifecycle from market analysis and site selection to lease execution and portfolio integration. He operates within a mission-critical function that enables federal agencies to maintain secure, efficient, and cost-effective work environments through strategic property acquisition. Hixson 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-specific, centered on lease negotiations for Class A and Class B office properties in high-demand urban and suburban markets. His approach emphasizes market-driven pricing, long-term occupancy stability, and compliance with federal leasing standards, fostering repeat engagements with landlords who demonstrate reliability, transparency, and responsiveness to GSA requirements. Hixson’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. He does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, reflecting a procurement strategy focused on market-wide competition for commercial real estate assets rather than targeted small business development. This aligns with the inherent structure of the real estate leasing market, where ownership entities are typically large-scale investors or institutional landlords. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial office leasing. Hixson specializes in securing turnkey, fully operational workspaces with infrastructure compliant with federal security and accessibility standards, ensuring seamless integration of federal personnel into leased environments. His domain expertise lies in lease structuring, space planning, and facility compliance within the federal real estate ecosystem.
