Derek Sanders

Derek Sanders serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where he oversees the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency workspace requirements. His role centers on executing lease agreements for commercial office space across the United States, ensuring compliance with federal property management standards and aligning with GSA’s mission to optimize the federal footprint. Sanders manages end-to-end contracting processes for long-term real property leases, including site selection, negotiation, lease execution, and performance monitoring, with a focus on securing secure, efficient, and cost-effective facilities for federal personnel. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of real estate investment and property management firms, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial landlords and institutional property owners with proven experience in federal leasing. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on large, nationally recognized entities capable of managing complex, multi-year lease obligations and meeting stringent federal compliance requirements. Sanders’ procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on market-wide competition rather than targeted small business programs, prioritizing property quality, location, and operational reliability over socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—accounting for 95.8% of activity, indicating deep expertise in commercial office leasing. He rarely engages in residential leasing (NAICS 531110), demonstrating a specialized domain in federal nonresidential real estate acquisition. His technical proficiency lies in lease structuring, space planning, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Acquisition and Management policies.
