JoAnn Stewart

JoAnn Stewart serves as a Leasing Specialist within the PBS R3 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in securing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations. She manages the full lifecycle of leasing acquisitions—from market research and requirements development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring federal workspaces align with mission needs, sustainability goals, and fiscal responsibility. Her portfolio primarily encompasses long-term lease agreements for office space and related real estate services, emphasizing strategic footprint optimization and operational efficiency across federal installations. Stewart maintains consistent contracting relationships with key real estate entities including FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC, BOYD GREENSBORO II GSA, LLC, Allied Defense Industries, LLC, and 801 State Street Holdings, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on institutional landlords and real estate holding companies with established federal experience. Her approach prioritizes stability and reliability, favoring vendors with proven track records in delivering turnkey leased facilities that meet GSA’s stringent standards for security, accessibility, and compliance. Stewart’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides applied to her acquisitions. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space solutions through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not a primary contracting mechanism in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to full and open competition requirements under FAR Part 6. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), which constitutes over 70% of her activity, alongside NAICS 531190 and 531390 for ancillary real estate services. She specializes in procuring commercial office space, building management services, and integrated real estate solutions tailored to federal operational needs, demonstrating deep familiarity with lease structures, tenant improvement allowances, and federal real property compliance standards.
