Ken Bodel

Ken Bodel serves as a Jones Lang LaSalle Broker supporting the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration. In this capacity, he facilitates the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential commercial real estate to meet federal workspace requirements nationwide. His role centers on identifying, evaluating, and securing optimal property solutions through market-driven leasing strategies, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission of efficient, secure, and cost-effective federal facility management. He primarily handles real property leasing actions under the 531120 NAICS category, coordinating with property owners, landlords, and real estate representatives to execute long-term lease agreements that support agency occupancy needs. Bodel maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial real estate entities, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily structured around direct lease negotiations for office and mixed-use properties, often involving complex tenant improvement allowances, build-out scopes, and federal compliance requirements. His procurement approach emphasizes market competitiveness and risk mitigation, relying on established relationships with experienced landlords who have a proven track record in federal leasing transactions. Bodel’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. His procurement pattern prioritizes market-wide competition and property suitability over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the PBS R00 Center’s focus on securing optimal space regardless of vendor size or certification status. His technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in procuring leased office space, flex-space facilities, and mixed-use commercial properties. He brings deep familiarity with federal leasing standards, build-out specifications, and space planning requirements critical to supporting federal agency operations across diverse geographic markets.
