Arisha A. Griffith

Arisha A. Griffith serves as a COE Technical Specialist at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she provides technical expertise to support the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential commercial real estate for federal agency occupancy. She plays a critical part in evaluating property suitability, assessing lease terms, and ensuring compliance with federal real property standards. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint by securing efficient, secure, and cost-effective workspace solutions across the United States. Griffith specializes in lease acquisitions under the 531120 NAICS category, focusing on long-term commercial office space procurement that aligns with agency space requirements and sustainability goals. Griffith maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 entities are primarily institutional landlords and property holding companies with established portfolios of Class A and B office buildings in high-demand federal corridors. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based lease evaluations, facility condition assessments, and post-award occupancy coordination, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and regulatory compliance. Griffith’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides. This indicates a strategic preference for leveraging the broadest possible market to achieve optimal value, rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her contracting patterns prioritize market-driven outcomes over socioeconomic quotas, consistent with the agency’s mandate to secure high-quality real estate through competitive, non-preferential processes. Her technical expertise centers exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She specializes in procuring leased commercial office space, evaluating building systems, zoning compliance, accessibility standards, and operational readiness for federal occupancy. Griffith’s domain knowledge ensures that leased properties meet stringent federal security, environmental, and accessibility requirements, making her a key technical authority in federal real estate acquisition.
