Lorena Jewart

Lorena Jewart serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of nonresidential lease space to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. Her role centers on executing strategic real estate leasing contracts that align with mission-critical space requirements, ensuring cost-effective, long-term solutions that promote operational efficiency and portfolio consolidation. She routinely handles complex real property lease transactions under FAR Part 17 and GSA’s leasing authorities, negotiating terms that balance federal needs with market conditions and sustainability goals. Jewart maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, both of which specialize in commercial property leasing and adaptive reuse of existing structures for federal occupancy. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with experienced real estate lessors capable of delivering turnkey lease solutions, including build-to-suit modifications, facility management integration, and compliance with federal building standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes stability and reliability, favoring vendors with proven track records in federal leasing environments. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing value and market competition rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s emphasis on efficiency and broad vendor access in the commercial real estate sector. Jewart’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. She specializes in acquiring office, mixed-use, and specialized facility space, ensuring compliance with GSA’s leasing policies, sustainability mandates, and security requirements. Her domain expertise lies in evaluating building conditions, lease term structures, and operational costs to secure optimal space solutions for federal tenants.
