Dave Young

Dave Young serves as Vice President at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he leads strategic real estate acquisition initiatives to secure commercial office space and nonresidential properties for federal agency operations. In this role, he oversees the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for leasing contracts, ensuring alignment with federal space optimization goals and cost-efficiency mandates. His portfolio primarily involves long-term lease negotiations, property due diligence, and portfolio rationalization to support federal workforce needs across the United States, with a focus on securing mission-critical workspace through competitive and compliant contracting practices. Mr. Young maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial 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 are primarily transactional and performance-driven, centered on the acquisition of leased space rather than construction or renovation services. His procurement approach emphasizes market-driven solutions, with a preference for established property owners who can deliver turnkey, fully compliant federal-ready spaces under standardized lease structures. Mr. Young’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and leverage competitive pricing without socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing value, location, and facility readiness over small business designation criteria. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for two-thirds of activity, and NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), which covers ancillary property types such as industrial or mixed-use facilities. He specializes in procuring leased commercial real estate for federal occupancy, with deep expertise in lease terms, build-out allowances, environmental compliance, and space utilization metrics to support federal footprint reduction initiatives.
