Dylan Matthews

Dylan Matthews serves as a procurement specialist within the PBS R5 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he supports the acquisition and management of federal leasehold interests in nonresidential commercial real estate. His responsibilities include facilitating the negotiation, award, and administration of long-term lease agreements to secure secure, flexible, and cost-effective office space for federal agencies nationwide. He operates within a mission-critical function that ensures federal operations are housed in facilities that meet security, accessibility, and operational standards, primarily through direct leasing arrangements rather than construction or renovation projects. Matthews maintains a primary working relationship with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, a key non-traditional lessor that provides federal agencies with leased space in commercial properties under long-term leasehold agreements. His contracting pattern reflects a preference for institutional landlords with established commercial real estate portfolios, often engaging entities that can deliver turnkey, fully serviced office environments compliant with federal standards. These partnerships are typically structured as sole-source or limited-competition leases due to unique property attributes or geographic constraints. Matthews’ procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of leases awarded without restriction under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business programs. This reflects the nature of the real estate leasing market, where qualifying small business lessors are rare in the nonresidential office space sector, and the agency prioritizes facility suitability and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property compliance, rent escalation clauses, and federal space utilization standards. He specializes in procuring fully serviced office environments, including utilities, maintenance, security, and common area services, ensuring seamless integration of federal operations into leased facilities.
