Don Crawford

Don Crawford serves as a Realty Specialist responsible for managing real property acquisition, leasing, and disposition activities within his organization. In this capacity, he ensures compliance with federal realty regulations and supports mission-critical facility needs through strategic leasing decisions. His role is central to the agency’s asset management and infrastructure planning, where he evaluates property requirements, negotiates lease terms, and coordinates with internal stakeholders to align real estate solutions with operational objectives. Crawford primarily handles non-residential space acquisitions, focusing on long-term leases that support administrative, technical, and operational functions. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in current records, Crawford engages with commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and facility management firms experienced in federal leasing compliance. His procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive solicitation, and adherence to the Federal Real Property Profile standards. He routinely works with landlords and property managers who understand the nuances of GSA lease guidelines and federal space standards, fostering partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and performance accountability. Crawford’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, his process remains fully compliant with FAR requirements and promotes equitable access for all qualified vendors. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). He specializes in securing office, laboratory, warehouse, and mixed-use commercial spaces to support federal operations. His technical expertise lies in evaluating building suitability, lease structure optimization, and compliance with federal space utilization benchmarks, making him a key advisor in real property strategy and facility acquisition planning.
