Alan J Bascom

Alan J. Bascom serves as a Contractor with Cushman & Wakefield, supporting the Public Buildings Service’s Region 1 Administration Support Center-BOS under the General Services Administration. In this capacity, he plays a critical role in facilitating real property acquisition and leasing activities essential to maintaining federal workspace infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the procurement of nonresidential leasehold interests, coordinating facility space optimization initiatives, and ensuring compliance with federal real estate standards. Bascom’s work directly advances the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainably operated federal facilities through strategic leasing and integrated operations support. His contractor relationships are primarily anchored in long-term partnerships with commercial real estate firms, particularly Cushman & Wakefield, which provides comprehensive property management, leasing, and facility advisory services. These engagements reflect a reliance on specialized third-party expertise to execute complex real property transactions, including lease negotiations, space planning, and building condition assessments. Bascom works closely with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in federal real estate compliance, ensuring alignment with GSA’s regulatory and operational frameworks. Bascom’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing value, capability, and operational continuity over targeted small business preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, his approach remains compliant with all federal procurement regulations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 85.7% of activity, with additional support for NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). He specializes in securing leased federal workspace, managing tenant improvement allowances, and overseeing long-term real estate portfolios to meet agency space requirements. His technical expertise centers on federal leasing law, space utilization analytics, and facility lifecycle management within the public sector.
