Mary E. Harris

Mary Harris serves as the primary procurement lead for the PBS R3 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she oversees the acquisition of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations. Her role centers on executing long-term leasing agreements for office space and related real estate services, ensuring federal work environments are secure, efficient, and aligned with mission requirements. She manages the full lifecycle of real property contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—focusing on strategic footprint optimization and sustainable facility solutions for federal tenants. Her contracting portfolio is anchored by enduring relationships with key real estate lessors and property management entities, including 801 State Street Holdings, LLC, Boyd Greensboro II GSA, LLC, and Allied Defense Industries, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial landlords and real estate service providers with proven experience in federal lease compliance and facility management. Harris consistently engages vendors capable of delivering turnkey leased space solutions, including build-outs, maintenance, and operational support under GSA lease standards. Harris’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic preferences. Her contracting strategy prioritizes market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes over targeted socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal real estate solutions through open, transparent processes. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), indicating deep expertise in commercial lease structuring, space utilization analysis, and property portfolio management. She specializes in procuring fully serviced office environments, including utilities, security, and building systems, with minimal reliance on real estate brokerage services (NAICS 531210). Her technical domain expertise centers on federal real property acquisition, lease compliance, and facility lifecycle management under GSA’s leasing authorities.
