Samuel Feldman

Samuel Feldman serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R8 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he oversees the acquisition of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency operations nationwide. His role centers on managing the full lifecycle of lease transactions—from market research and site selection to lease execution and compliance—with a focus on securing secure, accessible, and efficiently utilized office and operational spaces that align with federal standards. He works within a highly regulated framework governed by the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, ensuring all acquisitions meet statutory requirements for sustainability, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. Feldman’s contracting activity is exclusively focused on lessors of nonresidential buildings, engaging with commercial property owners, real estate investment trusts, and third-party leasing agents who hold title to or manage federal-eligible facilities. He does not rely on a small pool of dominant contractors but instead maintains a broad, competitive marketplace approach, soliciting proposals from a diverse range of property holders across multiple geographic regions to ensure optimal value and location alignment for federal tenants. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions under NAICS 531120, reflecting a mandate to prioritize mission need over socioeconomic criteria. This approach ensures the broadest possible competition among commercial landlords while maintaining compliance with federal leasing authorities. His technical expertise lies in commercial real estate leasing, including build-out allowances, rent escalation clauses, renewal options, and federal facility compliance requirements such as ADA, GSA Fit-Out Standards, and security protocols. Feldman’s work directly enables federal agencies to occupy mission-critical spaces without the burden of ownership, leveraging the private sector’s real estate infrastructure to meet evolving operational demands.
