Katrina D Trimble

Katrina D. Trimble serves as a Real Property Acquisition Manager (RAM) within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R5 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration. In this role, she leads the acquisition and management of federal leasehold interests in nonresidential commercial and institutional real estate to support agency operational requirements nationwide. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal real property statutes and GSA leasing policies. Trimble specializes in securing flexible, cost-effective office space that aligns with federal space standards and sustainability goals, primarily through competitive leasing mechanisms under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. Trimble’s primary contractor relationships center on major real estate owners and property managers, with the Metropolitan Airports Commission being a consistent partner in securing leased facilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based leasing arrangements with commercial landlords who can deliver secure, mission-critical space in high-demand urban and suburban markets. She engages with a limited but strategic pool of vendors who demonstrate proven experience in federal leasing, strong property management capabilities, and compliance with federal accessibility and security requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Only 6.7% of awards are designated as 8(a) competed, indicating a focus on market-driven solutions over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary driver, she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic requirements and evaluates vendors based on capability, cost-effectiveness, and facility suitability. Trimble’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), reflecting her expertise in acquiring office, administrative, and mixed-use commercial spaces. She specializes in negotiating leases for tenant improvements, utility services, and maintenance obligations, demonstrating deep technical knowledge of federal real property standards and lease accounting requirements.
