David Baker

David Baker serves as Project Manager for the PBS R2 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he leads the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Responsible for end-to-end lease lifecycle management, he oversees the solicitation, negotiation, and execution of long-term real property leases for office space and specialized facilities. His work directly advances the agency’s mission to secure secure, functional, and cost-effective work environments through strategic space planning and market-driven procurement strategies. He primarily handles complex real estate leasing transactions under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. David Baker maintains consistent contracting relationships with key real estate landlords and property management entities, notably TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on institutional-grade commercial landlords with proven experience in federal leasing compliance, build-out coordination, and facility maintenance under GSA standards. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based lease agreements that prioritize operational continuity, regulatory adherence, and facility readiness for federal occupancy. David Baker’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. His procurement strategy prioritizes market competition among qualified commercial real estate providers, emphasizing value, location suitability, and facility condition over socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a mission-driven alignment with the agency’s need for large-scale, high-demand space solutions that require specialized real estate expertise not typically available through small business channels. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep specialization in commercial lease acquisitions for office, institutional, and mixed-use properties. He possesses extensive expertise in lease structuring, rent escalation clauses, tenant improvement allowances, and facility compliance with federal building codes and security requirements, making him a key operator in the federal real estate leasing domain.
