Dawn L. Warner

Dawn L. Warner serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring real property services essential to the operation and maintenance of federal facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities include managing the acquisition of nonresidential leasing services, facility space optimization, and related realty support under integrated design-build and facility modernization initiatives. Warner ensures that federal building portfolios meet operational, safety, and efficiency standards through strategic contract execution aligned with GSA’s mission to deliver high-performing federal infrastructure. She primarily handles full-service real estate leasing contracts, including long-term space acquisition, tenant fit-outs, and property management services for federal agencies operating within federally owned or leased buildings. Warner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced realty and facility services contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These vendors are regularly engaged for their expertise in property management, tenant improvement coordination, and site readiness services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, locally rooted firms with proven capabilities in federal realty compliance, demonstrating a reliance on proven performers rather than open-market bidding cycles. Her approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and seamless integration of leased spaces into federal operations. Warner’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, her contractor base includes firms of varying sizes, suggesting a merit-based selection process grounded in technical competence and past performance rather than socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She specializes in acquiring commercial space for federal occupancy, including lease negotiations, space planning, environmental compliance, and facility integration. This domain requires deep familiarity with federal realty regulations, GSA lease policies, and building code alignment, positioning Warner as a subject matter expert in federal nonresidential real estate acquisition.
