Quatavious D. Ellis

Quatavious D. Ellis serves as a Leasing Specialist within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. His responsibilities include evaluating, negotiating, and managing long-term lease agreements for office, administrative, and mission-critical facilities, ensuring alignment with federal real estate standards and cost-efficiency mandates. He works closely with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to structure leases that meet agency space requirements while adhering to GSA’s leasing policies and sustainability goals. His acquisitions are primarily focused on strategic, multi-year real estate solutions that consolidate fragmented federal footprints and enhance operational readiness. Mr. Ellis maintains consistent contracting relationships with key real estate providers, including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, reflecting a preference for established lessors with proven capacity in managing large-scale, nonresidential commercial properties. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, facility condition compliance, and long-term lease performance, often resulting in repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate expertise in federal leasing requirements and facility maintenance standards. These partnerships are characterized by structured negotiations, performance-based lease terms, and rigorous compliance oversight. Mr. Ellis’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of leases awarded through full and open competition, indicating a focus on selecting the most technically and financially qualified lessors regardless of socioeconomic status. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic preferences. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), with minor activity in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages). He specializes in procuring leased space for federal offices, support facilities, and ancillary infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, space planning, and federal facility acquisition lifecycle management.
