Julia Shirey

Julia Shirey serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R3 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of nonresidential real estate leasing services to support federal agency operations. Her work centers on securing long-term, mission-critical office space and related real estate services that align with federal footprint optimization goals. She handles full lifecycle leasing contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—ensuring compliance with federal property regulations and strategic space utilization objectives. Her acquisitions are exclusively focused on leasehold interests in commercial office environments, making her a specialized operator within GSA’s real estate portfolio. Shirey maintains consistent relationships with a select group of experienced real estate lessors and property holding entities, including 801 State Street Holdings, LLC, Boyd Greensboro II GSA, LLC, and Allied Defense Industries, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagement and long-term contractual stability, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven capacity in managing federal lease requirements, including build-out coordination, facility maintenance, and compliance with GSA’s sustainability and security standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, asset integrity, and operational continuity over competitive bidding cycles. Shirey’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s mandate to prioritize efficiency and market-wide access for nonresidential leasing, rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes compete on technical capability, property quality, and lease terms. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. She specializes in procuring turnkey office space solutions, including built-to-suit leases, tenant improvements, and integrated facility services, ensuring federal workspaces meet security, accessibility, and operational standards.
