Carr Kaufmann

Carr Kaufmann serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, responsible for securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Specializing in lease acquisition and property management contracts, Kaufmann plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to optimize federal footprints through strategic, cost-effective real estate solutions. Their work primarily involves negotiating long-term leases for nonresidential office space, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and aligning occupancy needs with GSA’s sustainability and efficiency goals. Kaufmann maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of institutional 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 reflect a preference for established property holders with large-scale commercial portfolios capable of meeting federal security, accessibility, and operational requirements. The working relationships are characterized by repeat engagement, long-term lease structures, and a focus on turnkey space readiness, minimizing tenant improvement costs and accelerating occupancy timelines. Kaufmann’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in contract structure, the nature of the acquisitions—largely involving institutional landlords—naturally limits the pool of eligible vendors to entities with substantial real estate holdings. The primary NAICS codes driving Kaufmann’s acquisitions are 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), reflecting deep expertise in commercial lease procurement. Their technical domain centers on evaluating building specifications, lease terms, utility infrastructure, security compliance, and space utilization metrics to ensure federal workspace meets operational and regulatory standards.
