Samantha MM Oden

Samantha M. Oden serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a central role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of leasing and real property acquisition contracts, ensuring that federal workspace needs are met through cost-effective, secure, and strategically aligned nonresidential space solutions. She routinely manages complex real estate transactions involving long-term leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and space optimization initiatives aligned with federal footprint reduction goals. Oden maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of experienced 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 partnerships reflect a focus on established entities with proven capabilities in managing large-scale commercial properties and navigating federal leasing requirements. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for direct, non-competitive negotiations with entities possessing deep market knowledge and existing federal compliance infrastructure, enabling efficient execution of mission-critical space acquisitions. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded without socioeconomic preferences, reflecting a strategic emphasis on market competitiveness and property-specific suitability over socioeconomic categorization. This approach prioritizes facility functionality, location alignment, and long-term operational efficiency over set-aside programs, though it does not preclude small business participation where it aligns with asset requirements. Oden’s expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep specialization in commercial office leasing, tenant improvement coordination, and federal real property compliance. She procures turnkey leased spaces tailored to federal security, accessibility, and sustainability standards, with a technical focus on lease administration, space planning, and facility integration within the federal real estate portfolio.
