Eli Ceryak

Eli Ceryak serves as Senior Vice President at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he oversees the strategic acquisition and management of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this leadership capacity, he directs the procurement of nonresidential leasing arrangements, ensuring federal workspaces are secured efficiently, securely, and in alignment with cost-effectiveness and footprint optimization goals. His portfolio primarily encompasses long-term lease agreements for office space and other nonresidential properties, requiring deep expertise in real estate transaction structuring, space planning, and federal property compliance. Ceryak maintains consistent procurement 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 reflect a preference for established commercial property entities with proven experience in federal leasing, often involving complex lease negotiations, build-out allowances, and facility modernization provisions. His approach emphasizes stability, reliability, and long-term asset performance over transactional vendor relationships. Ceryak’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside procurement strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary driver of his award decisions, his portfolio remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), demonstrating specialized expertise in commercial office leasing, property condition assessments, and federal occupancy requirements. He routinely manages acquisitions involving Class A office spaces, mixed-use properties, and mission-critical facilities requiring high-security standards and ADA compliance, positioning him as a key leader in federal real estate procurement.
