Alistair Whatley

Alistair Whatley serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R9 Leasing Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, responsible for managing real estate leasing acquisitions to support federal operations across Region 9. His role centers on securing long-term leased space for federal agencies, ensuring compliance with federal property standards and optimizing the efficiency of the federal real estate portfolio. He routinely handles complex real property leases under FAR Part 17 and GSA’s Leasing Policy, focusing on nonresidential office and commercial facilities that meet mission-critical space requirements. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with federal footprint consolidation goals and sustainability objectives, emphasizing functional, secure, and cost-effective environments for federal personnel. Whatley maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of commercial real estate entities, including EYP REALTY, LLC, THE HUNT TRUST BYPASS TRUST, SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, and DLR HOLDINGS 4, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on institutional landlords and large-scale property owners with established portfolios of Class A and B office buildings. His procurement approach emphasizes structured lease negotiations, space planning alignment, and performance-based lease terms, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in predictable delivery and regulatory compliance. Whatley’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing market competition among qualified commercial lessors rather than targeting specific small business categories. While small business participation is not a primary contracting driver, his process remains fully compliant with all federal acquisition regulations governing fair and open competition. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing. He procures turnkey office spaces, build-to-suit arrangements, and flexible lease structures tailored to federal agency needs, demonstrating expertise in property condition assessments, space utilization analysis, and lease administration under GSA’s Real Property Standards.
