Frank Truesdell

Frank Truesdell serves as Managing Director at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he leads the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs. In this role, he oversees the full lifecycle of leasing and property acquisition contracts, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and strategic footprint optimization. His procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on commercial office space and related nonresidential real estate, making him a key decision-maker in securing cost-effective, secure, and mission-aligned facilities across the United States. Truesdell maintains long-standing relationships with a select 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 structured through direct lease negotiations and competitive bidding processes for large-scale, multi-tenant commercial properties. His contracting approach emphasizes efficiency, risk mitigation, and alignment with federal real property policy, favoring established entities with proven experience in federal leasing and asset management. Truesdell’s procurement strategy reflects a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing value, location, and facility suitability over small business participation mandates. While he does not routinely award to 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms, his contracting patterns demonstrate strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations and transparency in vendor selection. His technical expertise centers entirely on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). He specializes in procuring leased office space, build-to-suit arrangements, and long-term real estate agreements tailored to federal operational requirements, with deep familiarity in property condition assessments, lease term structuring, and federal real property compliance frameworks.
