Sheila Baker

Sheila Baker serves as a Broker with the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and negotiating leases for nonresidential office spaces and other mission-critical facilities, ensuring alignment with federal footprint optimization goals. She manages the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for real property leases, from market analysis and site selection to contract execution and compliance oversight, directly supporting the agency’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and cost-effective workspace solutions for federal personnel. Sheila maintains consistent working 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 primarily transactional and focused on large-scale commercial property leasing, with an emphasis on high-visibility urban and suburban office portfolios. Her approach reflects a preference for established, financially stable landlords with proven experience in federal lease compliance, resulting in long-term, low-risk contractual arrangements. Sheila’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on market-wide competitiveness rather than targeted small business participation, aligning with the agency’s priority for maximizing value and operational flexibility in real estate procurement. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), accounting for 75% of her activity, and NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), comprising the remaining 25%. She specializes in leasing Class A and B office spaces, mixed-use properties, and specialized federal facility sites, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing standards, federal lease regulations, and space utilization optimization.
