Cheryl L Nolting

Cheryl Nolting serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R9 Leasing Division under the General Services Administration, responsible for managing real estate leasing contracts to support federal agency operations across Region 9. She oversees the acquisition of commercial office and nonresidential space, ensuring federal facilities are secure, functional, and cost-efficient. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic mission to consolidate federal footprints and optimize real estate portfolios through long-term lease agreements, space consolidation initiatives, and facility modernization efforts. Nolting handles complex real property transactions under FAR Part 17 and GSA’s leasing authorities, often coordinating with federal stakeholders to align space requirements with operational needs. She maintains established relationships with a select group of commercial real estate owners and developers, 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 experienced, large-scale property holders with proven track records in delivering federal-grade leased space. Nolting’s contracting approach emphasizes stability, compliance, and long-term asset performance over transactional vendor relationships, fostering consistent, high-quality deliverables across a geographically dispersed portfolio. Her procurement activity shows a strong preference for non-set-aside contracts, with 96.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic restrictions, reflecting the nature of the commercial real estate market and the limited availability of qualified small business lessors in the nonresidential space sector. While small business participation is minimal at 3.1%, it is consistently channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a structured but constrained commitment to socioeconomic goals. Nolting’s expertise centers on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—accounting for 96.7% of her portfolio, with a secondary focus on residential lessors. She specializes in procuring leased office environments, including Class A commercial buildings and mixed-use properties, requiring deep familiarity with lease structures, build-out allowances, tenant improvement allowances, and facility management obligations under federal real property standards.
