Derek Bond

Derek Bond serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R3 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration, responsible for managing nonresidential real estate leasing acquisitions to support federal agency workspace requirements. His role centers on executing long-term lease agreements for office space and related real estate services, ensuring federal operations are housed in secure, efficient, and mission-aligned facilities. He handles full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and requirement definition to lease execution and performance monitoring—primarily focused on securing commercial office environments through competitive solicitation processes aligned with GSA’s strategic footprint optimization goals. Bond maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of real estate developers and property holding entities, including 801 State Street Holdings, LLC, Boyd Greensboro II GSA, LLC, and Allied Defense Industries, LLC. These partnerships are predominantly structured around direct lease negotiations and master agreement frameworks, reflecting a preference for established landlords with proven experience in federal leasing compliance. His contractor engagement strategy prioritizes stability and reliability over transactional vendor turnover, fostering long-term collaborations that align with GSA’s objective of reducing turnover and administrative overhead in real estate management. There is no set-aside preference in Bond’s contracting portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, with 100% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a deliberate procurement approach focused on maximizing value and facility suitability rather than socioeconomic targets, consistent with the agency’s emphasis on mission-critical space acquisition over categorical contracting preferences. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property management compliance, and federal lease administration. He specializes in procuring turnkey office environments, including build-to-suit configurations, tenant improvements, and ancillary services such as security and maintenance, all governed by GSA’s Federal Real Property Regulations and the Uniform Federal Policy for Leasing.
