Meredith Bell-Frese

Meredith Bell-Frese serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where she manages the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs nationwide. Her role centers on leasing nonresidential office space through competitive solicitation processes, ensuring compliance with federal property management standards and optimizing the federal footprint through strategic, cost-effective real estate solutions. She routinely handles complex lease agreements, space optimization contracts, and long-term occupancy arrangements, working closely with property owners, brokers, and legal advisors to secure secure, functional, and sustainable facilities for federal personnel. Bell-Frese maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of experienced real estate entities, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial property owners and institutional landlords with proven track records in federal leasing. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, transparency, and adherence to GSA leasing protocols, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on compliance, performance, and operational predictability. 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 market-wide competition rather than targeted small business preferences, prioritizing value, location, and facility suitability over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all procurements remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations. Bell-Frese’s primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She specializes in leasing Class A and B office spaces in urban and suburban markets, with an emphasis on properties that meet federal security, accessibility, and sustainability standards. Her expertise lies in evaluating building conditions, lease terms, and service-level agreements to ensure federal occupancy requirements are met with efficiency and regulatory precision.
