Shelley Smith

Shelley Smith serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of real estate leasing and related construction services on behalf of her agency. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering cost-effective, mission-critical facilities solutions. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—primarily focusing on long-term real property agreements and facility support services. Her expertise lies in navigating complex real estate acquisition frameworks, ensuring alignment with federal space utilization standards and sustainability requirements. Shelley cultivates professional relationships with a broad base of commercial real estate lessors and construction firms, prioritizing transparency, competitive bidding, and contractual integrity. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with experienced property management companies and commercial builders capable of meeting stringent federal facility standards. Her approach emphasizes fair and open competition, fostering a procurement environment that rewards performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 98.3% of awards issued under full and open competition. Only 1.7% of her awards are designated as 8(a) competed, indicating a deliberate, albeit limited, engagement with socioeconomic programs. This pattern suggests a focus on market-driven solutions rather than targeted socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations and ensures opportunities are appropriately considered when warranted. Shelley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), reflecting her specialization in securing office, administrative, and institutional space. She also manages limited construction activities under NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building projects. Her technical expertise includes lease negotiation, space planning, facility condition assessments, and compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. She is well-versed in the nuances of real property acquisition, including tenant improvement allowances, leasehold improvements, and federal real estate policy frameworks.
