James Randle

James E. Randle serves as a Leasing Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he manages federal real estate leasing acquisitions to support the operational needs of federal buildings and land ports of entry. His role centers on executing full lifecycle leasing contracts under the General Services Administration’s authority, ensuring compliance with federal property management statutes and integrating leasing solutions with broader facility modernization initiatives. Randle specializes in negotiating and administering long-term real property leases, including build-to-suit and tenant improvement arrangements, while aligning acquisitions with GSA’s mission of delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable federal infrastructure. Randle maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial real estate leasing and facility services, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in managing federal leasing requirements, property maintenance, and site-specific security enhancements. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based service delivery, fostering stable, long-term contractor engagement. Randle’s contracting activity shows no reliance on 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 set-asides, though he maintains engagement with small businesses that compete on equal footing. His approach prioritizes value, capability, and compliance over socioeconomic classifications, consistent with the agency’s operational imperatives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 921190 (Other General Government Support) and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), indicating deep expertise in federal facility leasing, real estate management, and related support services. He routinely procures space for administrative offices, security operations, and ancillary government functions, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal property law, lease accounting standards, and facility integration requirements.
