Derek Sanders

Derek Sanders serves as a Senior Transaction Coordinator at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in facilitating the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential commercial real estate to support federal agency workspace needs. His responsibilities include coordinating the end-to-end transaction process for lease executions, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations, and collaborating with legal, financial, and property management teams to deliver mission-critical facilities. He specializes in complex lease negotiations and portfolio optimization initiatives aimed at consolidating federal footprints and reducing operational overhead across the United States. Sanders maintains consistent working 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 B office spaces in high-demand urban and suburban markets. His approach emphasizes transactional efficiency, regulatory adherence, and proactive stakeholder coordination to ensure seamless occupancy transitions and asset utilization aligned with federal standards. His procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of transactions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic agency focus on maximizing value and market competitiveness rather than socioeconomic set-asides, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business preference programs. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing. He procures space for office use, including build-out allowances, tenant improvements, and operational service agreements, demonstrating expertise in real property acquisition, lease administration, and federal facility planning.
