Judy Friel

Judy Friel serves as a Leasing Specialist at the Public Buildings Service’s R00 Center for Broker Services, where she plays a pivotal role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Responsible for the end-to-end leasing lifecycle, she negotiates and administers long-term space leases for nonresidential properties, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and cost-efficiency mandates. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint by acquiring strategic office space that aligns with operational needs, sustainability goals, and geographic requirements across the United States. Friel maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of commercial real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on the acquisition of leased office space in urban and suburban markets, often involving complex lease structures such as gross, net, and modified gross leases. Her procurement approach emphasizes stability, long-term occupancy, and facility performance, fostering enduring vendor relationships built on transparency and adherence to GSA leasing guidelines. Friel’s procurement activity reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her leases awarded without set-asides. This indicates a preference for full and open competition under FAR Part 17, prioritizing market-driven pricing and facility suitability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not a primary driver in her portfolio, her process remains fully compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and equitable sourcing requirements. Her expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting a deep specialization in commercial office leasing. She procures turnkey workspace solutions, including build-outs, tenant improvements, and ancillary services tied to federal occupancy standards, demonstrating technical fluency in property management, space planning, and federal real estate policy.
