Eric Johnson

Eric M. Johnson serves as a Leasing Specialist within the PBS R2 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration, where he plays a critical role in securing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market research and site selection to lease negotiation and contract administration—Johnson ensures federal facilities meet operational, security, and cost-effectiveness standards. His work directly advances the agency’s mission to optimize space utilization and deliver functional, sustainable work environments through strategic leasing solutions. He primarily handles complex real estate leases under NAICS 531120, focusing on office space, specialized facilities, and ancillary real estate services across diverse geographic markets. Johnson maintains established working relationships with key lessors including TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company, reflecting a pattern of recurring partnerships with experienced commercial real estate entities experienced in federal compliance and long-term lease structures. These relationships are characterized by consistent engagement on high-demand urban and suburban properties, with an emphasis on turnkey solutions that minimize tenant improvement costs and accelerate occupancy timelines. His procurement approach prioritizes efficiency, risk mitigation, and adherence to federal leasing regulations under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. His contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 97.5% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While only 2.5% of awards are designated as 8(a) competed, his portfolio demonstrates minimal reliance on small business set-aside programs, aligning with the agency’s broader strategy of leveraging large-scale commercial real estate markets for optimal value. Johnson’s expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in procuring leased office space and related real estate services. His technical domain knowledge includes lease terms, build-out allowances, HVAC and security system requirements, and federal facility standards under GSA’s Design Excellence and sustainability guidelines, ensuring all leased spaces meet federal operational and regulatory benchmarks.
