Raymond Roberts

Raymond Roberts serves as a Leasing Specialist for the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, San Diego Field Office (47PK09), where he plays a critical role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations across the region. His responsibilities include evaluating, negotiating, and executing leases for nonresidential office space, ensuring alignment with federal space standards, mission requirements, and sustainability goals. Raymond manages the full lifecycle of leasing acquisitions—from market analysis and site selection to lease execution and portfolio optimization—acting as the primary point of contact between the agency and private property owners and real estate representatives. Raymond works closely with commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and facility management firms to secure suitable spaces for federal tenants. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct negotiations with experienced landlords and property management entities capable of meeting GSA’s stringent compliance, security, and operational requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are dominant, his engagements consistently involve firms with proven experience in federal leasing, including those familiar with GSA’s Form 1185 and lease administration protocols. Raymond’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of leasing actions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the nature of the commercial real estate market, where qualifying small business landlords are rare due to the scale and capital intensity of federal-grade office properties. His approach prioritizes mission need and property suitability over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with GSA’s real estate strategy for nonresidential space. His primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in procuring Class A and Class B office spaces with federal-grade infrastructure, including secure access systems, ADA compliance, and energy-efficient utilities. Raymond’s expertise lies in evaluating building suitability for sensitive government operations, ensuring leases support long-term space utilization and cost-effective federal occupancy.
