Shaina S. Berksteiner

Shaina S. Berksteiner serves as a Leasing Specialist within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition and administration of nonresidential lease space to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to secure cost-effective, mission-critical real estate solutions through strategic long-term leasing arrangements. Berksteiner specializes in full-cycle lease procurement, including site selection, lease negotiation, environmental compliance, and contract execution, ensuring federal facilities meet operational, security, and sustainability standards. She maintains established working relationships with key lessors such as CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, primarily engaging firms with expertise in commercial property management and adaptive reuse of industrial and maritime facilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, long-term asset performance, and alignment with federal real estate consolidation goals. Berksteiner collaborates closely with these contractors to ensure lease terms support federal occupancy needs, maintenance obligations, and facility modernization requirements. Berksteiner’s contracting activity reflects a consistent preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on maximizing value and flexibility through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s priority of securing optimal space under the most favorable terms available in the open market. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing. She routinely procures office, administrative, and mixed-use spaces tailored to federal operational requirements, leveraging market knowledge of building standards, zoning regulations, and facility infrastructure to support mission readiness across the region.
