Kari Lemmermann

Kari Lemmermann serves as a Project Manager within the PBS R2 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration, where she leads the end-to-end acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this role, she is responsible for executing lease solicitations, negotiating terms, ensuring compliance with federal property standards, and overseeing contract performance to secure functional, secure, and cost-effective workspace solutions. Her acquisitions are exclusively focused on leasing commercial office space and ancillary real estate services, aligning directly with GSA’s mission to optimize federal real property utilization through strategic leasing rather than ownership. Lemmermann maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of commercial real estate owners and developers, notably TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with experienced, property-specific lessors who hold long-term portfolios of Class A and mission-critical office assets. Her procurement approach emphasizes structured lease negotiations, performance-based deliverables, and proactive facility management coordination to ensure tenant readiness and operational continuity for federal clients. Her contracting activity is fully committed to socioeconomic goals, with 100% of her lease awards set aside for 8(a) certified small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained strategy to advance equitable access to federal real estate opportunities for disadvantaged entrepreneurs, aligning with statutory mandates and GSA’s broader small business inclusion objectives. Lemmermann’s portfolio demonstrates a rigorous application of 8(a) eligibility criteria and competitive set-aside procedures tailored to the unique nature of real property leasing. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring leased office environments, including build-out allowances, tenant improvement packages, and ancillary services such as security, maintenance, and utilities integration. She brings deep domain knowledge in commercial real estate leasing structures, lease accounting standards, and federal facility requirements, ensuring compliance with FMR and GSA policy frameworks.
