Kathleen Dunlap

Kathleen Dunlap serves as a key procurement lead within the Pbs R9 Leasing Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, responsible for managing real estate leasing acquisitions to support federal agency operations across Region 9. She oversees the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for nonresidential space, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and strategic footprint consolidation goals. Her work directly enables federal agencies to secure secure, functional, and cost-efficient office environments through long-term lease agreements, with a strong emphasis on portfolio optimization and facility modernization. Dunlap’s acquisitions are exclusively focused on leased commercial and office space, aligning with GSA’s mission to streamline federal real estate holdings. She maintains established relationships with a core group of real estate landlords and property holding entities, 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 trusts that own and manage large-scale commercial portfolios. Dunlap’s contracting approach reflects a preference for experienced, asset-heavy lessors capable of delivering turnkey leased space with robust infrastructure and long-term stability, often involving complex lease negotiations and build-out agreements. Dunlap’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her contracting decisions are guided by market readiness and asset suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria, consistent with GSA’s real estate leasing directives. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses) — where she specializes in procuring leased office, administrative, and mixed-use commercial properties. Her technical expertise centers on lease structure analysis, space planning compliance, and facility condition assessments to ensure federal requirements for security, accessibility, and operational continuity are met.
