Jennifer Elizabeth Mayo

Jennifer Elizabeth Mayo serves as a Leasing Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R5 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in securing commercial leasehold interests to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities include evaluating, negotiating, and managing nonresidential lease agreements for office and institutional facilities, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations and alignment with GSA’s mission of cost-effective, secure, and flexible space solutions. Mayo specializes in end-to-end leasing acquisitions, from market analysis and site selection to lease execution and portfolio optimization, primarily focusing on long-term, mission-critical tenancies for federal tenants. Her primary contractor relationship is with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, a key non-traditional lessor of federal space, reflecting a strategic partnership with a public authority that owns and operates commercial real estate assets. Mayo’s working relationships are characterized by collaborative, long-term engagement with lessors who provide turnkey facilities, often involving complex lease structures, build-to-suit arrangements, and operational service agreements tailored to federal security and accessibility standards. Mayo’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting pattern, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes value, location suitability, and facility readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space for mission-critical operations. Her technical expertise centers exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—where she procures fully leased office environments, including build-to-suit developments, tenant improvements, and integrated facility services. She possesses deep domain knowledge in commercial real estate leasing, federal space standards, and lease administration under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act.
