Theodore Prillaman

Theodore Prillaman serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R5 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he manages federal leasehold acquisitions of nonresidential commercial space to support agency operational requirements nationwide. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of real property leasing contracts, including market research, solicitation development, source selection, and lease administration, with a focus on securing flexible, secure, and cost-effective office facilities for federal personnel. Prillaman’s work directly advances the agency’s mission to optimize federal real estate portfolios through strategic leasing rather than ownership, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations and fiscal stewardship standards. His primary contractor relationships center on the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, a significant lessor of federal office space, reflecting a recurring partnership with a public-sector property owner that operates under unique authority to lease facilities to federal entities. While the majority of his acquisitions involve large institutional landlords, his contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established, mission-aligned lessors with proven experience in federal compliance, infrastructure standards, and long-term lease management. Prillaman’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 88.9% of awards issued through full and open competition, indicating a focus on market-wide value and facility suitability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he maintains a consistent, albeit limited, commitment to small business participation, with 11.1% of awards directed to 8(a) certified firms, reflecting a balanced approach that prioritizes facility quality while still supporting disadvantaged business enterprise goals. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in procuring turnkey office leases with integrated services such as maintenance, security, utilities, and ADA-compliant modifications. He operates exclusively within the commercial real estate leasing domain, demonstrating deep familiarity with lease structures, build-out allowances, and federal facility standards under GSA’s Real Property Policy.
