Nicole L. French

Nicole L. French serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing real estate-related acquisitions on behalf of a federal entity, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and efficient utilization of government space resources. Her work centers on securing long-term leasing arrangements and real estate services critical to agency operations, with a primary focus on nonresidential property leasing. She plays a pivotal role in aligning facility needs with fiscal and operational objectives, overseeing the full acquisition lifecycle from requirements definition to contract award and administration. Her portfolio consistently involves complex real property transactions requiring coordination with multiple stakeholders, including facility managers, legal counsel, and budget offices. French’s contracting activity is characterized by a preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market access and achieving best-value outcomes through broad-based solicitation rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures transparency, fairness, and competitive rigor in all procurement actions. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 531120, which covers the lessors of nonresidential buildings, indicating a specialization in leasing office spaces, industrial facilities, and other commercial properties for federal use. Secondary activity includes NAICS 531190 for other real estate property leasing and NAICS 531390 for ancillary real estate services. She engages with property management firms, commercial landlords, and real estate service providers who offer turnkey leasing solutions, facility maintenance, and space optimization services. French’s expertise lies in navigating the intricacies of federal real property acquisition, ensuring that leased spaces meet security, accessibility, and operational standards while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory compliance. Her work supports the broader mission of sustaining efficient, secure, and cost-effective federal infrastructure.
