Joel Gomez

Joel Gomez serves as a Leasing Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s Region 9 Leasing Division under the General Services Administration, where he plays a pivotal role in securing and managing nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii. Responsible for end-to-end lease acquisition and portfolio management, Joel ensures that federal workspace requirements are met through competitively awarded, cost-effective, and mission-aligned leasing solutions. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic goals of footprint consolidation, operational efficiency, and sustainable facility utilization, focusing exclusively on long-term commercial space leases for office and mixed-use properties. Joel maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced real estate lessors, including EYP Realty, LLC, The Hunt Trust Bypass Trust, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, and DLR Holdings 4, LLC. These partnerships are primarily with institutional property owners and regional real estate entities that hold high-value commercial portfolios, often with existing federal tenancy or proximity to key government hubs. His contracting approach emphasizes stability, compliance with federal leasing standards, and long-term asset alignment, fostering collaborative, transactional relationships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. Joel’s leasing portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition without any set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of property suitability, location, and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for immediate, scalable, and secure federal workspace solutions. His procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, lease negotiation, space planning, and property compliance with federal standards. Joel specializes in acquiring Class A and B office spaces, mixed-use developments, and institutional properties to house federal tenants, with technical knowledge in lease structures, build-out allowances, and federal real property regulations.
