Douglas P. Dooling

Douglas P. Dooling serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R3 Acquisition Management Division South, where he plays a pivotal role in securing real property assets to support federal operations across the Mid-Atlantic region. His responsibilities include managing the acquisition, leasing, and disposition of nonresidential real estate to meet the facility needs of federal agencies, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable work environments. Dooling specializes in procurement actions under real property leasing authorities, coordinating with internal stakeholders and external property owners to execute long-term lease agreements that optimize federal space utilization and reduce lifecycle costs. Dooling maintains collaborative relationships with commercial real estate owners, property management firms, and real estate brokers who provide office, industrial, and mixed-use spaces for federal occupancy. His contracting approach emphasizes due diligence in property evaluation, compliance with Federal Property and Administrative Services Act requirements, and adherence to GSA’s real estate acquisition standards. He works closely with landlords and third-party representatives to negotiate lease terms, ensure regulatory compliance, and facilitate smooth transitions of federal tenants into leased facilities. Dooling’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic programs. This approach prioritizes value, availability, and operational readiness over targeted socioeconomic preferences, while still ensuring full compliance with federal procurement regulations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), reflecting his specialization in leasing commercial office and institutional spaces. He possesses deep expertise in evaluating property suitability, zoning compliance, accessibility standards, and facility condition assessments to support federal mission requirements.
