Whitney Aaronson

Whitney Aaronson serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, specializing in the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Responsible for executing lease agreements and real property transactions, Aaronson ensures federal agencies secure secure, efficient, and cost-effective workspace solutions through strategic leasing actions. Their work directly advances the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint by consolidating and modernizing government-held space, primarily through long-term commercial leases of office and mixed-use properties. Aaronson maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of commercial real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established property owners with large-scale, high-demand commercial portfolios in strategic urban and federal corridor locations. The working relationships are characterized by standardized lease negotiation protocols, performance-based lease terms, and a focus on asset quality, location, and compliance with federal real property standards. There is no set-aside preference in Aaronson’s procurement activity; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on securing the most suitable properties based on operational needs, geographic requirements, and fiscal responsibility rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all vendors are evaluated on merit, transparency, and compliance with federal leasing regulations. Aaronson’s procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). Their expertise lies in negotiating commercial leases for office, laboratory, and mixed-use facilities, with deep familiarity in federal real property standards, space planning requirements, and lease administration under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. This specialization ensures alignment with GSA’s mandate to deliver mission-critical workspace through market-driven, long-term leasing strategies.
