Claire Roberts

Claire Roberts serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition and leasing of commercial nonresidential real estate to support federal agency workspace requirements. Her role centers on executing full-life-cycle real property contracts, including lease negotiations, space optimization initiatives, and portfolio consolidation efforts aligned with federal footprint reduction goals. She handles complex real estate transactions involving long-term leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and adaptive reuse projects, ensuring compliance with federal property management standards and cost-efficiency mandates. Roberts maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of institutional real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily structured around master lease agreements and property management contracts for Class A and B office spaces in high-demand urban and suburban markets. Her procurement approach emphasizes stability, long-term occupancy, and operational continuity, favoring established commercial landlords with proven experience in federal compliance and facility management. Roberts’ contracting activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This underscores a strategic preference for market-wide competition among qualified commercial real estate entities rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s mission to secure optimal space at the lowest practical cost. While small business participation is not a primary driver in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR compliance and fair opportunity procedures. Her procurement expertise is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep specialization in commercial office leasing. She routinely evaluates property characteristics such as building class, location, accessibility, security infrastructure, and sustainability certifications to ensure federal workspace meets operational, safety, and environmental standards.
