Jill Lindquist

Jill Lindquist serves as a key procurement lead within the Pbs R5 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of nonresidential leasehold interests to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her role centers on executing strategic real estate leasing contracts for office and institutional facilities, ensuring compliance with federal property standards while optimizing cost-efficiency, flexibility, and security. She oversees the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—primarily targeting commercial real estate spaces that meet the operational needs of federal tenants across diverse geographic locations. Lindquist maintains a consistent working relationship with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, the primary lessor in her procurement portfolio. Her contracting pattern reflects a preference for established institutional landlords with proven experience in federal lease compliance, long-term facility management, and adaptive space solutions. These partnerships are characterized by structured, performance-based lease agreements that emphasize operational continuity, maintenance accountability, and regulatory adherence under GSA’s leasing authorities. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven focus on securing the most suitable space rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach aligns with GSA’s broader mandate to achieve value through market-driven outcomes and competitive leasing practices. Lindquist’s expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she procures turnkey office space, build-to-suit leases, and modified existing facilities. Her technical domain centers on commercial real estate leasing, including space planning, build-out allowances, utility infrastructure, and federal compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. She specializes in securing mission-critical, nonresidential facilities that meet stringent federal security, accessibility, and sustainability standards.
