Emily Syrett

Emily Syrett serves as a Realty Specialist with the PBS R6 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities include negotiating leases, conducting market analyses, and ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations to secure optimal space solutions for office and administrative functions. Syrett plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission of cost-effective, mission-critical real estate procurement by executing long-term leasing strategies that align with federal space standards and sustainability goals. Syrett maintains a primary working relationship with BELLA TERRA LLC, a key lessor of commercial and institutional properties, reflecting a consistent pattern of engagement with experienced real estate landlords specializing in federal-grade facilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes stable, long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate reliability in property maintenance, lease administration, and compliance with federal leasing requirements. These relationships are built on track records of performance, transparency, and alignment with GSA’s leasing standards. Syrett’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a focus on securing the most suitable space based on operational needs and market availability rather than socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the nature of real estate leasing where property ownership and location often dictate vendor eligibility. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 92.9% of her activity, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). She specializes in acquiring Class A and B office spaces, administrative facilities, and mixed-use properties suited for federal occupancy, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, lease term structuring, and space planning for federal missions.
