Akeemah Smith

Akeemah Smith serves as a Leasing Agent within the PBS R2 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition and administration of nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her procurement activities focus on securing office space, parking facilities, and ancillary real estate services that align with federal workspace standards and sustainability goals. She plays a critical role in executing lease negotiations, conducting market analyses, and ensuring compliance with federal property management regulations to deliver cost-effective, mission-critical facilities. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with key real estate landlords and property managers, including TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company. These partnerships are primarily centered on long-term lease agreements for commercial office properties and structured parking solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability and performance-based outcomes, often involving complex lease structures such as triple-net leases and build-to-suit arrangements tailored to federal security and operational requirements. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic program targeting. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions are driven by facility suitability, location efficiency, and lifecycle cost analysis rather than socioeconomic criteria. Smith’s primary NAICS focus is on 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for over half of her activity, followed by 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 561110 (Office Administrative Services). She specializes in procuring turnkey leased spaces with integrated amenities, parking infrastructure, and property management services, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real estate leasing, space optimization, and facility lifecycle management.
