Wanda P Hardiman

Wanda P. Hardiman serves as a Contracting Officer within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she is responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal operations across the Southeastern United States. She plays a pivotal role in executing strategic leasing initiatives that align with the agency’s mission to optimize federal space utilization through long-term, cost-effective real estate solutions. Her portfolio primarily consists of lease acquisitions for office space, parking facilities, and related real estate services, utilizing full and open competition in accordance with FAR and GSA leasing authorities. Hardiman maintains consistent working relationships with key real estate partners, including Crown Leasing Inc. and FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, reflecting a focus on experienced lessors and property managers with proven capabilities in federal lease execution. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and compliance with GSA’s Real Estate Portfolio Management standards. She collaborates closely with property owners, brokers, and facility managers to ensure lease terms meet federal operational needs while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory adherence. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This approach underscores a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value and mission readiness, rather than targeted socioeconomic contracting. Hardiman’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), and 531210 (Real Estate Agents and Brokers), indicating deep expertise in commercial lease negotiations, property management services, and real estate brokerage transactions. She specializes in securing mission-critical space for federal tenants through complex, multi-year lease agreements, demonstrating strong technical knowledge of real estate law, space planning, and federal facility requirements.
