Erika L. Kaufman

Erika L. Kaufman serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where she manages the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs nationwide. Her role centers on securing long-term leases for nonresidential office space and related facilities, ensuring alignment with federal footprint optimization goals and cost-efficiency mandates. She handles complex real estate brokerage and lease transactions under the General Services Administration’s authority, coordinating with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to execute binding agreements that meet federal occupancy, security, and sustainability standards. Kaufman maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial real estate entities, 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 owners and institutional landlords with proven track records in federal leasing. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability, compliance, and long-term asset management rather than transactional vendor engagements, fostering enduring relationships grounded in regulatory adherence and performance reliability. Kaufman’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes property suitability, location, and fiscal responsibility over socioeconomic criteria in award decisions. Her primary contracting activity is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 91.7% of her portfolio, with secondary activity in NAICS 531210 (Real Estate Agents and Brokers). She specializes in procuring leased office space, build-to-suit arrangements, and tenant improvement allowances, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real estate leasing, property due diligence, and lease administration under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act.
