Kimberly Ashby

Kimberly Ashby serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition and long-term leasing of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of space acquisition—from market research and requirement development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring federal facilities meet operational, security, and efficiency standards. She primarily handles lease agreements for office, warehouse, parking, and storage facilities, aligning each acquisition with the GSA’s mission to optimize the federal footprint and reduce redundant or underutilized space. Ashby collaborates with a broad spectrum of commercial real estate owners, property managers, and leasing brokers who hold title to or control access to federal-eligible properties. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established real estate firms with proven experience in federal leasing, including those capable of delivering build-to-suit, renewal, or expansion options under GSA’s standardized lease templates and compliance frameworks. Her working relationships are characterized by structured, transparent negotiations grounded in federal property regulations and fiscal accountability. Ashby’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic alignment with the GSA’s priority to maximize value and efficiency in real estate transactions rather than prioritize socioeconomic categories, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business reporting requirements. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property condition assessments, rent escalation clauses, and space utilization metrics. She specializes in securing mission-critical facilities through long-term leases, ensuring federal agencies receive secure, sustainable, and cost-effective environments to deliver public services.
