David Friedman

David Friedman serves as a Transaction Manager at the Pbs R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in executing real estate acquisition strategies to support federal workspace needs. He manages the full lifecycle of commercial leasing transactions for nonresidential properties, ensuring alignment with federal efficiency goals and strategic footprint optimization. His responsibilities include negotiating lease terms, conducting market analyses, and coordinating with stakeholders to secure secure, cost-effective office spaces across the United States. Friedman’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to provide functional, sustainable, and mission-critical facilities for federal personnel through competitive and compliant procurement practices. Friedman maintains consistent relationships with a core group of institutional 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 centered on long-term lease agreements for Class A and Class B commercial office spaces, often involving complex property portfolios and multi-tenant configurations. His procurement approach emphasizes stability, reliability, and adherence to federal leasing standards, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in transparency and performance accountability. Friedman’s contracting activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic agency-wide directive to prioritize market-wide competition for large-scale real estate transactions, where the scale and complexity of the requirements typically exceed the capacity of small business participants to fulfill on a national scale. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property condition assessments, rent escalation structures, and build-out allowances. He specializes in procuring turnkey office spaces and managed facilities that meet federal security, accessibility, and sustainability standards, making him a key technical authority in federal nonresidential real estate acquisition.
