Regina Zehm

Regina Zehm serves as a Leasing Specialist with the PBS R10 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a critical role in securing nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations across the Pacific Northwest. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of real estate acquisition, from needs assessment and market analysis to lease negotiation and contract administration. She specializes in procuring office space solutions that align with federal consolidation goals, ensuring cost-effective, secure, and mission-critical work environments for federal personnel. Her acquisitions primarily involve long-term leases for commercial office buildings and warehouse facilities, often requiring coordination with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to meet federal real property standards. Regina collaborates with a broad network of commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and facility management firms to secure optimal leasing arrangements. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she engages with a diverse pool of private-sector lessors who meet federal compliance requirements, including environmental, accessibility, and security standards. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on transparency, competitive bidding, and adherence to FAR guidelines, ensuring fair and open access for all qualified lessors. Regina’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes over targeted socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the agency’s mandate to secure the most efficient and cost-effective space solutions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and NAICS 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), reflecting her expertise in securing commercial office and logistics support facilities. She possesses deep technical knowledge of federal lease compliance, space utilization metrics, and real estate market dynamics in the Pacific Northwest region.
