Larry Sutton

Larry M. Sutton serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 3, operating under the General Services Administration. In this role, he is responsible for managing the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real property to support federal agency space requirements. His work is central to the agency’s mission of securing functional, secure, and sustainably maintained facilities through strategic real estate transactions. Sutton specializes in long-term leasing actions under the 531120 NAICS code, coordinating with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to negotiate leases that align with federal standards for space utilization, accessibility, and environmental compliance. Sutton’s contracting activities involve direct engagement with commercial property owners, real estate investment trusts, and institutional landlords who own and operate Class A office and institutional buildings. He works closely with third-party real estate brokers and asset managers to evaluate property suitability, conduct site inspections, and ensure lease terms meet federal regulatory requirements. His partnerships are primarily transactional and performance-based, focused on securing mission-critical space without reliance on construction or renovation contracts. Sutton’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. His acquisitions prioritize market-driven solutions and competitive leasing processes, emphasizing value, location, and operational efficiency over socioeconomic preferences. His primary industry focus is on the lessors of nonresidential buildings, specifically procuring long-term leases for federal office, administrative, and institutional facilities. He possesses deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing instruments, including gross, net, and modified gross lease structures, as well as federal compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act and the Real Property Management Handbook. His technical domain centers on space planning, lease administration, and facility lifecycle alignment with federal occupancy standards.
