Stephanie M. Flores

Stephanie Flores serves as a PBS Program Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, R5 Office of Leasing, where she plays a pivotal role in securing commercial real estate leases to meet federal operational requirements. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of nonresidential lease acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with federal space standards, cost-effectiveness, and mission-critical needs. She specializes in procuring office and institutional facilities to house federal agencies across the region, prioritizing flexible, secure, and sustainable lease solutions that support long-term federal occupancy. Flores maintains a primary contracting relationship with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, a key landlord and real estate partner for federal leasehold interests. Her procurement pattern reflects a consistent reliance on this single, high-capacity lessor with deep regional expertise in managing federal tenancy within commercial properties. While her portfolio is narrowly focused, her working relationship with this entity is characterized by sustained collaboration, proactive space planning, and adherence to federal leasing regulations under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for efficiency and market-driven solutions rather than targeted socioeconomic programs, consistent with the nature of large-scale real estate leasing where specialized landlords often dominate the market. Flores’s procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial office leasing, building management, and tenant improvement coordination. She procures turnkey leased space solutions, including build-to-suit arrangements, tenant allowances, and long-term lease structures, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal real estate acquisition policy and commercial property law.
