Craig Aycock

Craig Aycock serves as National Transaction Manager for the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he oversees the acquisition and management of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this role, he leads end-to-end procurement strategies for leasing and construction of nonresidential properties, ensuring alignment with federal workspace optimization goals. Aycock manages complex real estate transactions involving long-term leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and facility modifications, coordinating with regional offices and stakeholders to deliver secure, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for federal personnel. Aycock maintains consistent relationships with a select group of national real estate developers and property owners, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on large-scale commercial property holders with proven experience in federal leasing and construction delivery. His contracting approach emphasizes transactional efficiency, risk mitigation, and compliance with federal real estate standards, often engaging contractors with established track records in GSA-managed portfolios. Aycock’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for no set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern suggests an emphasis on market-driven selection based on facility suitability, cost-effectiveness, and operational readiness rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s mission to secure optimal space without restrictive contracting mechanisms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for two-thirds of his activity, with the remainder centered on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). This reflects deep expertise in lease negotiations, property acquisition, and new construction for federal tenancy, demonstrating specialized knowledge in real estate transactional law, space planning, and federal facility standards.
