Elizabeth Olexa

Elizabeth Olexa serves as a Lease Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition and administration of nonresidential real property leases on behalf of federal entities. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal leasing regulations, including the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act and the General Services Administration’s leasing policies. Her procurement portfolio centers exclusively on long-term lease agreements for office, operational, and mission-critical facilities, aligning with the agency’s strategic space requirements. She leads the full acquisition lifecycle—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring fiscal responsibility and regulatory adherence across all lease transactions. Elizabeth maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of commercial lessors and real estate investment firms that specialize in commercial property management. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with national and regional property owners who meet federal leasing standards, including those with experience in GSA-approved spaces and build-to-suit developments. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, transparent evaluation criteria, and performance-based lease terms to ensure tenant satisfaction and asset efficiency. Elizabeth’s procurement activity reflects a clear preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her leases awarded without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This pattern indicates a focus on facility suitability, market competitiveness, and operational urgency over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the nature of real property leasing where qualifying small businesses are often limited in their ability to own or lease large commercial spaces. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal occupancy. She specializes in procuring turnkey office spaces, mission-critical facilities, and multi-tenant buildings with infrastructure supporting federal operations, demonstrating strong technical knowledge of lease terms, build-out allowances, maintenance obligations, and space utilization standards.
