Jim Simpson

Jim Simpson serves as a Broker with the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. His responsibilities center on leasing nonresidential office space through competitive acquisition processes, ensuring federal agencies receive secure, efficient, and cost-effective workspaces aligned with strategic footprint optimization goals. Simpson specializes in end-to-end leasing transactions, including site evaluation, lease negotiation, and contract execution under the 531120 NAICS classification, with a focus on long-term, mission-critical property commitments. He maintains consistent working 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 reflect a preference for established commercial property holders with proven track records in federal leasing, often involving complex lease structures, build-to-suit arrangements, and space reconfiguration agreements tailored to GSA standards. His procurement approach prioritizes market-driven solutions with minimal intervention, relying on robust market analysis and negotiated terms rather than competitive bidding. Simpson’s contracting activity shows a 100% reliance on no-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic focus on open competition and broad market access rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects the nature of large-scale commercial real estate leasing, where the pool of qualified landlords is typically composed of institutional entities rather than small businesses. His primary technical domain is the leasing of nonresidential buildings (NAICS 531120), with expertise in commercial office space acquisition, lease administration, and federal property compliance. He consistently procures turnkey workspace solutions, including fully built-out offices, flex spaces, and mixed-use facilities, demonstrating deep familiarity with GSA lease guidelines, building codes, and federal workspace standards.
