Carr Kaufmann

Carr Kaufmann serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, overseeing the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs nationwide. Responsible for executing lease agreements and real property transactions, Kaufmann plays a central role in fulfilling the agency’s mission to optimize federal footprints through strategic, cost-effective leasing solutions. Their portfolio primarily consists of commercial office space acquisitions, with a focus on securing secure, well-located, and efficiently managed facilities that align with federal operational requirements and sustainability standards. 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 commercial landlords with proven experience in federal leasing, often involving long-term, fully serviced office leases with built-in maintenance and operational flexibility. The working relationships are characterized by structured negotiation cycles, compliance with GSA lease guidelines, and a focus on performance-based terms that ensure tenant satisfaction and asset integrity. Kaufmann’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of market-driven value, operational efficiency, and geographic suitability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space solutions without artificial constraints. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 77.8% of activity, with additional support under NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). Kaufmann specializes in procuring turnkey commercial office leases, including build-to-suit arrangements, tenant improvements, and integrated facility services, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real estate leasing, space planning, and property management contracting.
