Paul Buckingham

Paul Buckingham serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R00 Center for Broker Services, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he manages the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal workspace requirements across the United States. His responsibilities center on executing lease agreements for commercial office space and mission-critical facilities, ensuring compliance with federal property management standards and optimizing the federal footprint through strategic, cost-effective real estate solutions. He routinely handles complex real property transactions involving long-term leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and space consolidation initiatives under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. Buckingham maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of commercial real estate developers and property owners, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These entities are primarily large-scale property holders with portfolios of Class A and B office buildings in high-demand federal corridors. His working model emphasizes direct negotiation with institutional landlords, prioritizing lease terms that align with federal occupancy needs, security protocols, and sustainability benchmarks, often involving build-out allowances and tenant improvement allowances under GSA’s leasing authorities. His procurement activity reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition for real estate acquisitions. This approach prioritizes market-driven pricing and facility suitability over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space at the lowest practical cost. While small business participation is not a primary contracting mechanism in his portfolio, his awards remain fully compliant with FAR Part 19 and open to all qualified vendors. Buckingham’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings — where he specializes in procuring leased commercial office space for federal tenants. His domain expertise includes lease structuring, space planning, facility condition assessments, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Acquisition Policy, making him a specialist in federal real estate leasing and asset optimization.
