Wayne Richardson

Wayne Richardson serves as a Lease Contracting Officer within the Pbs R10 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, he is responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations across the Pacific Northwest. His portfolio focuses on securing optimal real estate solutions that align with federal consolidation goals, ensuring secure, efficient, and cost-effective workspace solutions. Richardson oversees the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market research and requirements definition to contract award and performance management—primarily for office and commercial space, with occasional engagement in self-storage and miniwarehouse leases. Richardson works closely with real estate brokers, property management firms, and commercial landlords to negotiate and execute long-term lease agreements under GSA’s leasing authorities. His contractor relationships are predominantly with firms specializing in commercial real estate brokerage and nonresidential property leasing, including both national landlords and regional property holders with established federal experience. He maintains a collaborative, compliance-driven approach to vendor engagement, emphasizing transparency, competitive sourcing, and adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) leasing guidelines. His contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains open to all qualified vendors, ensuring market-wide competition without artificial restrictions. Richardson’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 531210 (Real Estate Agents and Brokers) and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), reflecting his specialization in commercial property leasing and brokerage services. He routinely procures space for federal tenant agencies requiring flexible, modern office environments, demonstrating deep expertise in lease structuring, space planning, and real estate market analysis within the federal context.
