Keitra E. Harris

Keitra E. Harris serves as a Lease Contracting Specialist within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. Her procurement activities center on securing optimal, mission-critical lease space through strategic acquisition planning, lease negotiation, and performance monitoring. She specializes in long-term real estate solutions that align with federal efficiency goals, ensuring cost-effective, sustainable, and operationally ready facilities for federal stakeholders. Ms. Harris maintains consistent working relationships with key lessors, including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, who provide specialized nonresidential space and facility management services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established real estate partners with proven track records in delivering turnkey lease solutions, including build-to-suit arrangements, space consolidation, and facility modernization under federal lease standards. These vendor partnerships are typically structured as firm-fixed-price or cost-reimbursement leases with robust performance metrics and compliance requirements. Ms. Harris’s portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting approach, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. Her procurement strategy prioritizes competitive, full-and-open competition to achieve mission outcomes, emphasizing value, location, and facility suitability over socioeconomic criteria. This reflects a deliberate alignment with agency-wide directives to maximize operational readiness through broad market access. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 531120, the Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings category, which accounts for 93.2% of her acquisitions. She specializes in procuring office space, industrial facilities, and mixed-use commercial properties tailored to federal operational needs, demonstrating deep expertise in real estate lease compliance, space planning, and GSA leasing regulations. Her domain knowledge ensures alignment with federal real property standards and sustainability benchmarks.
