Monica Graham

Monica Graham serves as a Lease Contracting Officer within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of nonresidential real estate leases across the Southeastern United States, ensuring federal agencies receive mission-critical space through strategic, long-term leasing solutions. Her procurement activities encompass site selection, lease negotiation, compliance with federal real property regulations, and performance monitoring to optimize cost-efficiency and operational readiness. Monica specializes in acquiring office, administrative, and mixed-use facilities under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, aligning each acquisition with GSA’s broader goal of consolidating federal footprints and reducing redundant space. Monica maintains consistent working relationships with key lessors including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, both of which provide specialized nonresidential property solutions tailored to federal needs. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability and reliability, favoring established lessors with proven track records in delivering turnkey, fully compliant lease spaces. These partnerships are typically long-term and performance-driven, with a focus on seamless transitions, facility maintenance obligations, and adherence to federal building standards. Monica’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic preferences. Her contracting strategy prioritizes market competition based on technical suitability, location, and cost-effectiveness rather than socioeconomic criteria, reflecting the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space without artificial constraints. Her primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—where she procures fully leased, turnkey commercial spaces for federal occupancy. She specializes in evaluating building condition, accessibility, utility infrastructure, and compliance with ADA and GSA design standards, demonstrating deep expertise in real property leasing law and federal facility acquisition policy.
