Jerry Cobb, Jr.

Jerry Cobb, Jr. serves as Senior Vice President at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he oversees the strategic acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency workspace requirements nationwide. In this capacity, he leads procurement initiatives focused on securing commercial office space and other nonresidential properties through long-term leases and brokered transactions, ensuring alignment with federal efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness mandates. His role is central to optimizing the federal footprint by identifying and contracting for mission-critical real estate assets across diverse geographic markets. Cobb maintains consistent 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 transactional and asset-focused, centered on lease negotiations for existing commercial properties rather than new construction. His procurement approach emphasizes stability, long-term occupancy, and compliance with federal real estate standards, favoring established property owners with proven track records in federal leasing. Cobb’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for open, unrestricted competitions with no set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This underscores a procurement strategy prioritizing market-wide competition and property-specific suitability over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the Center’s mission to secure optimal real estate solutions through broad market engagement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property management agreements, and tenant improvement coordination. He specializes in negotiating space for federal tenants within Class A and B office buildings, retail-anchored properties, and mixed-use developments, demonstrating advanced knowledge of federal real estate policy, lease accounting standards, and space utilization benchmarks.
