Cheryl Grosso

Cheryl Grosso serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R3 Acquisition Management Division South (47PD02), where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of real estate and facility-related acquisitions across the Mid-Atlantic region. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of nonresidential building leasing services, including long-term space acquisition, tenant fit-outs, and related professional services essential to supporting federal agency operations. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and modern work environments for federal personnel through strategic, mission-driven contracting. Cheryl collaborates with a diverse range of commercial real estate owners, property managers, and facility service providers to secure optimal leasing arrangements for federal tenants. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing expertise in federal lease compliance, building code adherence, and sustainability standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear scope definition, and rigorous contract administration to ensure tenant satisfaction and fiscal accountability. Cheryl’s procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic programs, prioritizing value, capacity, and facility suitability over specific vendor classifications. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her portfolio, she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic requirements and evaluates all offers on technical merit and cost-effectiveness. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring lease agreements for office, administrative, and mixed-use federal facilities. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating building conditions, lease terms, utility infrastructure, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Standards. Her work directly supports the strategic realignment of federal footprints, ensuring that leased spaces meet operational needs while optimizing long-term taxpayer investment.
