Cheryl Gwinn

Cheryl Gwinn serves as Project Manager for the PBS R10 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, 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 lease negotiation to contract administration and performance monitoring—ensuring that leased facilities align with federal efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to consolidate federal footprints and optimize workspace utilization through strategic leasing solutions. Cheryl collaborates with a broad range of commercial real estate owners, property managers, and leasing brokers who specialize in office and institutional space. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she engages with firms possessing proven experience in federal leasing compliance, build-out standards, and long-term lease structuring. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on transparency, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, ensuring tenants receive secure, functional, and sustainably managed environments. Cheryl’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate alignment with the agency’s priority to maximize value and leverage the broader commercial real estate market without socioeconomic restrictions, while still ensuring fair and equitable access for all qualified vendors. Her primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring turnkey office leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and flexible workspace solutions tailored to federal operational requirements. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating building systems, lease terms, tenant improvement allowances, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Standards, making her a key liaison between federal agencies and commercial property stakeholders.
