Roger L Johnston

Roger L. Johnston serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R2 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, he is responsible for managing the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency operations nationwide. His procurement activities center on securing office space, specialized facilities, and ancillary real estate services through competitive leasing mechanisms, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and cost-effectiveness goals. Johnston plays a critical role in translating agency space requirements into binding lease agreements that align with GSA’s strategic mission of optimizing federal real estate utilization. He maintains consistent working relationships with key real estate lessors, including TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company, both of which specialize in commercial property leasing and facility management. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial landlords with proven track records in delivering turnkey leased spaces that meet federal security, accessibility, and operational standards. Johnston’s contracting approach emphasizes structured, transparent negotiations and long-term lease administration, fostering reliable vendor collaboration grounded in regulatory compliance and performance accountability. Johnston’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This indicates a focus on selecting the most suitable property based on location, functionality, and value rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s priority to secure mission-critical space efficiently. While small business participation is not a primary driver in his awards, his process remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and open to all qualified vendors. His primary NAICS focus is on 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 71.4% of his activity, with 28.6% under 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). This underscores his expertise in procuring commercial office spaces and related real estate services, demonstrating deep familiarity with lease structures, build-out allowances, and facility condition assessments essential to federal tenancy.
