Amanda Williams serves as AVP Transaction Manager at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition and lease negotiation of commercial real estate assets critical to federal workspace operations. In this role, she oversees end-to-end transaction management for nonresidential property leases, ensuring alignment with federal real property standards, cost-efficiency goals, and mission-critical space requirements across the United States. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on long-term leasing arrangements for office and nonresidential facilities, requiring deep expertise in real estate law, lease structuring, and federal property management protocols. Williams maintains consistent, high-volume relationships with a select group of institutional 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 are characterized by recurring, large-scale lease transactions involving Class A and Class B commercial properties in urban and suburban markets. Her approach emphasizes standardized lease templates, performance-based occupancy terms, and proactive asset optimization, reflecting a transactional model grounded in efficiency and compliance. Williams does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides; 100% of her acquisitions are awarded through full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space at the lowest cost without restrictions, prioritizing market-driven outcomes over socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating specialized expertise in commercial real estate leasing. She exclusively procures leased space for federal occupancy, managing complex lease negotiations, build-out allowances, and facility transition timelines, making her a key operator in the federal government’s real estate portfolio strategy.
