Bethany Schwartz

Bethany Schwartz serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing nonresidential real property leasing acquisitions within a federal agency. She plays a critical role in ensuring the agency’s facility needs are met through compliant, cost-effective leasing arrangements under the General Services Administration’s real estate authorities. Her portfolio centers on long-term lease agreements for office space, administrative facilities, and mission-critical nonresidential buildings, with a strong emphasis on adherence to federal acquisition regulations and property management standards. She coordinates closely with agency program offices, real property managers, and GSA regional offices to align leasing decisions with operational requirements and space utilization goals. Her contractor relationships are primarily with commercial real estate landlords, property management firms, and real estate investment trusts that own and operate nonresidential office buildings. She engages with vendors who provide turnkey leasing solutions, including build-out services, facility maintenance, and utilities management under gross or net lease structures. Her procurement approach prioritizes competitive solicitation methods such as Request for Proposals and Invitations for Bids, with a preference for transparent, performance-based contract terms that ensure accountability and facility readiness. Schwartz’s contracting activity is exclusively classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a consistent focus on open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency policy that treats real property leasing as a non-service-disabled or non-small-business-targeted acquisition category, prioritizing market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic objectives. Her primary NAICS specialization is 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, lease negotiation, space planning, and facility compliance. She routinely procures leased space for federal operations, ensuring alignment with accessibility standards, security requirements, and sustainability benchmarks. Her domain expertise includes interpreting lease terms, evaluating building condition reports, and managing renewal or termination actions under federal property management frameworks.
