Ric J. Gordon

Ric J. Gordon serves as a Realty Specialist within the Pbs R10 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing and managing nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations across the Pacific Northwest. His responsibilities include evaluating property requirements, negotiating lease terms, and ensuring compliance with federal realty regulations to deliver cost-effective, secure, and mission-aligned workspace solutions. Ric specializes in long-term leasing acquisitions for office environments, coordinating with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to align physical infrastructure with agency operational needs, while supporting broader GSA goals of footprint consolidation and sustainable real estate management. Ric collaborates with a broad network of commercial real estate landlords, property management firms, and leasing agents who own or administer office portfolios in key metropolitan markets. His working relationships are primarily transactional and performance-driven, centered on lease execution, space optimization, and facility condition assessments. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms experienced in federal compliance, tenant improvement coordination, and lease administration under GSA standards. Ric’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach aligns with the agency’s strategic focus on maximizing value through broad market competition in the commercial real estate sector, rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in acquiring leased office space, including build-to-suit arrangements, space modifications, and lease renewals. Ric possesses deep expertise in federal leasing law, space planning standards, and property condition assessments, ensuring that all acquisitions meet GSA’s stringent requirements for security, accessibility, and operational efficiency.
