Katie Decker

Katie Decker 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 leases to support federal agency operations. Her role centers on executing long-term leasing strategies that align with federal footprint optimization goals, ensuring secure, efficient, and mission-critical workspace solutions across the nation. She oversees the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and performance management—focusing exclusively on commercial real estate transactions under the 531120 NAICS code. Her work directly enables federal agencies to secure appropriate office environments without capital investment, leveraging GSA’s centralized leasing authorities. Decker maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of real estate developers and property holding entities, including 801 State Street Holdings, LLC, Boyd Greensboro II GSA, LLC, and Allied Defense Industries, LLC. These partnerships are primarily with private landlords and real estate investment firms that own and manage commercial office portfolios suitable for federal occupancy. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability, long-term tenancy, and compliance with federal real property standards, fostering collaborative, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in predictable lease structures and facility condition requirements. There is no set-aside preference in Decker’s portfolio; all lease acquisitions are competed full and open, reflecting the nature of the commercial real estate market and the limited availability of small business-owned properties meeting federal space standards. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, her procurement process remains transparent and competitive, ensuring value and compliance with FAR requirements for all solicitations. Her technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring leased office space, ancillary services, and related real estate management solutions. She evaluates properties based on security clearance readiness, ADA compliance, energy efficiency, and proximity to federal operational hubs, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in federal real property acquisition and lease administration.
