Darryl S Smith

Darryl S. Smith serves as a Realty Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, San Diego Field Office (47PK09), where he plays a pivotal role in securing and managing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations across the region. His responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and negotiating leases for commercial office space and other mission-critical facilities, ensuring alignment with federal space standards, security requirements, and operational efficiency goals. Smith specializes in full-cycle real property acquisition, from market analysis and lease negotiation to lease administration and compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. He works closely with federal tenant agencies to assess space needs and execute leases that optimize utilization while minimizing long-term costs. Smith’s contracting activity is exclusively focused on the lessor community, engaging primarily with commercial property owners and real estate investment firms that own and manage Class A and B office buildings. He maintains professional, arms-length relationships with a broad network of landlords and property management companies, prioritizing transparency, competitive leasing practices, and adherence to GSA’s Real Estate Acquisition Policy. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with regional and national real estate entities capable of delivering turnkey, fully compliant federal workspace solutions. Smith’s procurement activity reflects a strict non-set-aside approach, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded under full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s mandate to achieve the best value through market-driven processes rather than targeted preferences, while still ensuring equitable access for all qualified vendors. His technical expertise centers entirely on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he evaluates building specifications, lease terms, utility costs, and facility conditions to ensure compliance with federal standards. He is deeply versed in lease structures, build-out allowances, renewal options, and environmental compliance requirements for federal tenancy.
