Mark Palmer

Mark Palmer serves as a Broker at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he facilitates the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency workspace needs. In this role, he executes lease negotiations and real estate procurement actions aligned with federal property optimization goals, ensuring secure, efficient, and cost-effective facilities across the United States. His responsibilities include evaluating property suitability, managing lease terms, and coordinating with property owners and third-party brokers to secure commercial office space and other nonresidential assets critical to federal operations. Palmer maintains consistent working relationships with key real estate entities 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 commercial property owners and institutional landlords with portfolios suited to federal occupancy requirements. His procurement approach emphasizes direct lease execution with experienced real estate holders, prioritizing reliability, compliance, and long-term operational stability over transactional vendor relationships. Palmer’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for no set-aside procurement, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic designation-based awards. This pattern underscores a mission-driven emphasis on securing optimal space solutions through market-wide competition, with no formal reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business set-asides in his portfolio. His procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) at 66.7%, with additional activity in NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) at 33.3%. This specialization reflects deep expertise in commercial office leasing, building management agreements, and nonresidential property acquisition, positioning him as a specialist in federal real estate procurement within the broader GSA real estate portfolio.
