David Cazares

David Cazares serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R7 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he manages the acquisition of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency operations nationwide. His role centers on securing efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable workspace solutions through strategic leasing contracts, with a focus on optimizing federal footprints and reducing underutilized space. Cazares handles full lifecycle leasing acquisitions, including site selection, lease negotiation, and contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and sustainability goals. His work directly enables federal agencies to access mission-critical facilities while advancing GSA’s broader objectives in portfolio rationalization and environmental stewardship. Cazares maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of institutional landlords and real estate entities, including SHILOH TEXAS PROPERTIES, LTD., SFP 711 CORPUS CHRISTI LLC, and MCALLEN GSA, LLC, among others. These partnerships are primarily with private real estate owners and special-purpose entities that own and manage commercial properties suitable for federal occupancy. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, stable vendor relationships grounded in proven performance and property suitability, rather than competitive bidding cycles typical of goods procurement. Cazares does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his leasing acquisitions awarded through full and open competition. This reflects the nature of the real estate market, where qualifying properties are typically owned by large-scale commercial landlords or institutional investors rather than small businesses. His contracting approach prioritizes property suitability, location, and operational efficiency over socioeconomic preferences. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing. He procures office, administrative, and mixed-use spaces tailored to federal operational needs, with an emphasis on energy-efficient, accessible, and strategically located properties that align with GSA’s sustainability and footprint optimization mandates.
