Nicholas Golden

Nicholas Golden serves as a Leasing Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he manages the acquisition of real estate and facility space to support federal infrastructure needs. His role centers on securing leased properties for federal operations, including office space, land ports of entry, and mission-critical facilities, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission of delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable federal work environments. Golden specializes in nonconstruction-based acquisitions under lease agreements, coordinating with property owners, legal counsel, and program stakeholders to negotiate terms that meet operational requirements while adhering to federal leasing statutes and fiscal constraints. He maintains consistent procurement relationships with a core group of real estate lessors and facility management providers, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms capable of delivering turnkey leased spaces, property maintenance, and integrated security services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term stability, performance-based deliverables, and compliance with federal property standards, fostering reliable vendor relationships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. Golden’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition to secure optimal value and facility suitability, rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, his contracting practices remain open to all qualified vendors regardless of size or certification status. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 76% of his activity, with secondary emphasis on residential leasing (531110) and other real estate lessors (531190). He specializes in procuring commercial-grade leased spaces, including tenant improvements, utility coordination, and facility readiness services, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property acquisition and space optimization strategies.
