James Thompson

Jamie Thompson serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where they manage the acquisition of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. Responsible for executing long-term leasing strategies, Thompson oversees the full lifecycle of real property contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—ensuring alignment with federal efficiency and mission-readiness goals. Their portfolio primarily involves securing leased space for federal offices, courthouses, and operational facilities through competitive and non-competitive acquisition methods under GSA’s real estate authority. Thompson maintains established relationships with core lessors including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, reflecting a focus on experienced real estate owners and specialized property managers capable of delivering mission-critical space under complex federal lease requirements. These partnerships are typically structured as firm-fixed-price leases with performance-based metrics, emphasizing facility condition, security compliance, and operational continuity. The working relationships are characterized by consistent re-engagement, indicating a preference for vendors with proven track records in federal leasing environments and a capacity to meet stringent GSA standards. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 99.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a procurement strategy prioritizing market-wide competition and value optimization over socioeconomic set-asides. While 8(a) competed awards represent a minimal 0.8% of activity, this indicates occasional, targeted engagement with small disadvantaged businesses rather than a systematic socioeconomic contracting focus. The procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 97.5% of acquisitions, underscoring deep expertise in commercial lease negotiations, space planning, and real estate portfolio consolidation. Secondary activity in NAICS 531190 and 531320 reflects ancillary support for specialized property types and appraisal services, reinforcing a technical command over federal real estate acquisition best practices.
