Monica Shumpert

Monica Shumpert serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R5 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration, where she manages federal lease acquisitions for nonresidential real estate to support agency operational requirements. Her work centers on securing flexible, cost-effective leased space—including office facilities and ancillary properties—to house federal personnel nationwide. She handles complex real property leasing actions under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, ensuring compliance with GSA leasing policies and federal real estate standards. Her acquisitions are mission-critical, enabling federal agencies to maintain secure, efficient, and sustainable work environments without capital investment. Shumpert maintains a consistent working relationship with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, a primary lessor of federal leasehold interests. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, strategic partnerships with entities that own and operate large-scale commercial and institutional properties, often involving multi-year leases with renewal options. These relationships are typically non-competitive, leveraging existing property portfolios to meet federal space needs efficiently. Her approach emphasizes stability and operational continuity over transactional procurement, prioritizing properties with proven infrastructure and location suitability for federal operations. Shumpert’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing optimal space solutions rather than socioeconomic objectives, aligning with GSA’s real estate strategy that prioritizes functional requirements and cost-effectiveness over preferential contracting mechanisms. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), each accounting for 45.5% of her activity, with 9.1% in 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages). She specializes in procuring leasehold interests in Class A office buildings, mixed-use commercial properties, and supporting parking infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in real estate leasing, property management agreements, and federal space planning.
