Beth Haynes

Beth Haynes serves as Project Manager for the PBS R10 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration, where she leads the acquisition and management of nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations across the Pacific Northwest. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of real estate procurement—from market research and requirements development to lease negotiation and performance monitoring—ensuring that federal workspace solutions align with mission needs, cost-efficiency goals, and sustainability standards. Her acquisitions are exclusively focused on long-term leasing arrangements for office facilities, with an emphasis on consolidating federal footprints and optimizing space utilization to reduce overhead and improve operational readiness. Beth works directly with commercial property owners, real estate developers, and leasing agents who specialize in commercial office space, typically engaging through competitive solicitation processes such as Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and lease competitions. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships with a broad pool of private-sector lessors, prioritizing transparency, compliance, and value-driven outcomes. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently evaluates proposals based on facility condition, location suitability, operational flexibility, and long-term cost projections. Beth’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. She does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, reflecting the nature of the commercial real estate leasing market, where ownership structures typically do not align with small business eligibility criteria. Her primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring turnkey office leases, including build-to-suit arrangements, tenant improvements, and energy-efficient facilities. Her expertise lies in evaluating structural integrity, security compliance, accessibility standards, and environmental performance metrics critical to federal occupancy requirements.
