Renee L. de Spelder

Renee L. de Spelder serves as Vice President at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she oversees the strategic acquisition and leasing of nonresidential commercial real estate to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this leadership role, she directs the procurement lifecycle for office space and mission-critical facilities, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards while optimizing federal footprints through cost-effective, secure, and sustainable leasing solutions. Her portfolio primarily involves long-term lease agreements for commercial office buildings, with a focus on aligning space utilization with agency workforce needs and sustainability goals. De Spelder maintains enduring relationships with a select group of institutional real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are characterized by recurring, large-scale lease transactions involving Class A and mission-critical commercial properties across high-demand urban and suburban markets. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability, performance-based lease terms, and rigorous facility condition assessments to ensure federal occupancy requirements are consistently met. Her procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on competitive, full-and-open contracting rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern underscores a mission-driven emphasis on securing the highest-quality, most cost-efficient space available, regardless of vendor size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to full compliance with federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding standards. De Spelder’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings — where she specializes in the acquisition of leased commercial office space. Her domain expertise includes lease negotiation, space planning, facility condition analysis, and federal real property compliance, making her a key leader in the federal real estate leasing sector.
