Cerise Aguilar

Cerise Aguilar serves as a Lease Contracting Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R9 Leasing Division under the General Services Administration, where she is responsible for acquiring and managing commercial real estate leases to support federal agency operations across Region 9. Her role centers on executing full-cycle lease procurement processes—from market research and requirement development to contract award and administration—ensuring federal facilities are secure, functional, and cost-effective. She specializes in nonresidential real estate leasing, aligning acquisitions with strategic footprint consolidation goals and long-term portfolio optimization initiatives. Aguilar maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced real estate lessors, including EYP REALTY, LLC, THE HUNT TRUST BYPASS TRUST, SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, and DLR HOLDINGS 4, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established property owners and institutional landlords with proven track records in delivering federal-grade leased spaces. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and long-term operational stability over transactional vendor relationships, fostering enduring collaborations grounded in regulatory adherence and performance accountability. Aguilar’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her lease awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her contracting practices remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasize value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), indicating deep expertise in leasing office, retail, and mixed-use commercial properties. She specializes in securing turnkey leased environments that meet federal security, accessibility, and sustainability standards, demonstrating strong command of real estate law, lease structuring, and facility operational requirements.
