Mike Richmond

Mike Richmond serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where he manages the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs across the United States. His role centers on executing lease agreements for nonresidential office space, ensuring federal agencies receive secure, efficient, and cost-effective facilities aligned with GSA’s strategic footprint optimization goals. He handles complex real property transactions under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, coordinating with stakeholders to negotiate terms, assess property suitability, and comply with federal leasing regulations. His acquisitions are primarily long-term, performance-based leases designed to meet mission-critical occupancy requirements. Richmond maintains consistent relationships with a core group of commercial 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 pattern of engaging established property holders with large-scale, Class A or high-demand office portfolios in major metropolitan markets. His contracting approach emphasizes direct negotiations and competitive leasing processes, favoring experienced landlords with proven track records in federal compliance and facility management. There is no set-aside preference in his procurement activity; all awards are competed without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a focus on market-rate, full-and-open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s priority to secure optimal space value through broad market access rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing. He procures turnkey office spaces, build-to-suit arrangements, and leasehold improvements, requiring expertise in property zoning, building codes, federal security standards, and facility transition logistics. His domain expertise lies in the intersection of federal real estate policy and commercial property law.
