DHC Real Estate
Services

Federal Practice

Federal real estate is a different discipline. We work inside it.

Solicitations, evaluation boards, price analysis, FAR-grade documentation. DHC runs federal lease acquisitions end to end as a prime contractor on the VA National Broker Contract and a subcontractor to Cushman & Wakefield on GSA requirements, and brings that same fluency to contractors who serve the government.

Delivered

$273M+ in awarded lease value. Five facilities. Five states.

Every award below ran the full federal acquisition cycle: market survey, solicitation, technical evaluation, price analysis, negotiation, and award. DHC worked each step. SDVOSB-certified through SBA VetCert, so working with DHC also supports set-aside goals and socioeconomic subcontracting plans.

Expressions of interest, advertisement, Request for Lease Proposal package development, amendments, and pre-bid conferences that keep offerors competitive.

STEP 03

STEP 04

Award & Transition
