Todd Payne

Todd Payne serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where he manages the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace requirements across the United States. His role centers on executing lease agreements for nonresidential office space, ensuring alignment with federal footprint optimization goals and cost-efficiency mandates. Payne specializes in complex real property transactions, leveraging market analysis and lease negotiation strategies to secure secure, scalable, and mission-critical facilities for federal personnel. His acquisitions are exclusively focused on long-term leasing arrangements, reflecting the agency’s strategic shift toward flexible, performance-based real estate solutions rather than ownership. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial real estate entities, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily structured around master lease agreements and space-specific leases for Class A and Class B office properties in high-demand urban and suburban markets. Payne’s procurement approach emphasizes stability, compliance, and risk mitigation, with a preference for established property owners and managers with proven track records in federal leasing. There is no set-aside activity in his portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions without socioeconomic preferences. This reflects the agency’s operational model, which prioritizes market-rate efficiency and property suitability over socioeconomic targeting in real estate procurement. His procurement activity is entirely focused on NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). He specializes in leasing commercial office spaces, including build-to-suit arrangements, tenant improvements, and space reconfiguration projects, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property law, lease administration, and property management compliance under GSA guidelines.
