John Worthen

John Worthen serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, responsible for managing commercial real estate acquisitions to support federal workspace requirements nationwide. He specializes in leasing nonresidential office properties through long-term real estate contracts, ensuring federal agencies receive secure, efficient, and cost-optimized facilities. His work directly advances the agency’s mission to streamline the federal footprint by securing strategic locations that align with operational needs and sustainability goals. Worthen handles complex lease transactions involving build-to-suit arrangements, space expansions, and portfolio optimization, often coordinating with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to execute compliant, high-value real estate agreements. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of commercial real estate developers and landlords, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on established property owners with proven track records in delivering federal-grade office space, often involving multi-year leases with renewal options. Worthen’s approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based lease terms, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in transparency and adherence to FAR regulations. Worthen’s procurement activity is exclusively classified under no set-aside categories, indicating a preference for full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mandate to secure the most cost-effective and suitable space without socioeconomic restrictions, prioritizing facility quality and location over vendor classification. While small business participation is not a contractual requirement in his portfolio, all procurements remain fully compliant with federal acquisition policies. His primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in leasing commercial office space tailored to federal operational standards. His expertise lies in evaluating building suitability, infrastructure readiness, security compliance, and lease structure design, making him a specialist in federal real estate procurement within the nonresidential property sector.
