Kristin Grit

Kristin K. Grit serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in securing real estate and facility-related services critical to federal infrastructure operations. Her responsibilities include managing lease acquisitions, site assessments, and real estate transaction support for federal buildings and land ports of entry. She ensures alignment with GSA’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable federal facilities by executing procurements under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act and leveraging integrated real estate strategies that support long-term asset management goals. Kristin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in real estate services and site development, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms capable of delivering property management, security infrastructure, and minor construction services tailored to federal facility needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear deliverables and regulatory adherence. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a preference for technical capability and market-wide competition over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her portfolio remains open to qualified small businesses that meet stringent performance and compliance standards. Kristin’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for over half of her activity, followed by 531390 (Other Real Estate Activities) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). She also manages acquisitions under 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 922190 (Public Order and Safety Activities), demonstrating expertise in securing facilities for operational use, security enhancements, and site-specific infrastructure upgrades essential to federal mission continuity.
