Deborah Boles

Deborah Boles, Managing Director at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, leads the acquisition and management of commercial real estate assets to support federal workspace requirements nationwide. She oversees the end-to-end leasing lifecycle for nonresidential properties, including negotiation of long-term leases, space optimization strategies, and compliance with federal real property standards. Her portfolio centers on securing secure, efficient, and cost-effective office environments for federal agencies, ensuring alignment with GSA’s mission to streamline federal footprints through strategic real estate planning and market-driven procurement. Boles maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of commercial 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 reflect a preference for established property holders with proven experience in federal leasing, often involving complex lease structures, build-to-suit arrangements, and space consolidation initiatives. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, rigorous performance monitoring, and adherence to federal leasing regulations under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on market-wide competitiveness rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not structurally prioritized in her portfolio, all transactions are conducted transparently and in compliance with FAR requirements for fair and open access. Boles specializes exclusively in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—procuring commercial office space and related real estate services across diverse urban and suburban markets. Her technical expertise lies in evaluating property suitability for federal occupancy, assessing building compliance with accessibility and security standards, and structuring leases that balance operational needs with fiscal responsibility. She is a recognized authority in federal real property acquisition and lease administration.
