Robin Riley

Robin Riley serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R7 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration, where they manage the acquisition of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency workspace needs nationwide. Responsible for executing strategic leasing contracts under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, Riley ensures federal facilities align with efficiency, sustainability, and footprint optimization goals. Their work centers on long-term lease agreements for office, administrative, and mixed-use properties, often involving complex real estate due diligence, space planning, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Acquisition Directive. This role is critical to fulfilling the agency’s mission of reducing underutilized space and delivering cost-effective, mission-critical environments for federal operations. Riley maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of institutional real estate owners and developers, including Shiloh Texas Properties, Ltd., SFP 711 Corpus Christi LLC, and McAllen GSA, LLC. These partnerships are primarily with private landlords and special-purpose entities that own and manage commercial properties suitable for federal tenancy. The working relationships are characterized by structured, long-term leasing arrangements, often involving build-to-suit or lease-purchase options, and require close coordination with property managers, legal counsel, and environmental compliance teams to meet federal standards. Riley’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition to achieve optimal value and facility suitability over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with GSA’s real estate leasing strategy for large-scale, mission-critical space requirements. The primary NAICS classification for all acquisitions is 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—indicating exclusive focus on leasing existing commercial properties rather than construction or renovation services. Riley’s expertise lies in evaluating property suitability, lease terms, operating expenses, and compliance with federal building codes, making them a specialist in real estate procurement within the federal government’s nonresidential space portfolio.
