Stephen Monkewicz

Stephen Monkewicz serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R10 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations across the Pacific Northwest. His role centers on executing full lifecycle leasing contracts—ranging from site identification and lease negotiation to compliance and performance monitoring—to ensure the federal government secures secure, efficient, and cost-effective workspace solutions. He specializes in real estate transactions aligned with agency consolidation goals and sustainability mandates, often coordinating with internal stakeholders and external property owners to meet mission-critical space requirements. Monkewicz works directly with commercial property owners, real estate investment trusts, and commercial leasing firms that own and manage office buildings suitable for federal occupancy. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term, stable partnerships with landlords who demonstrate reliability in facility maintenance, security compliance, and adaptive reuse of existing structures. He prioritizes transparent, performance-based lease agreements that align with GSA’s Federal Property Management Standards and avoid unnecessary capital expenditures. His procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, reflecting a strategic focus on market-wide competitiveness rather than socioeconomic preferences. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his contracting decisions remain fully compliant with all federal procurement regulations and emphasize value-driven outcomes. Monkewicz’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he secures turnkey office environments, including build-outs, utilities, and common area services. His technical expertise lies in evaluating building systems, accessibility compliance, energy efficiency, and security infrastructure to ensure leased spaces meet federal operational and regulatory standards. He is deeply versed in lease administration, rent escalation clauses, and tenant improvement allowances within federal real estate frameworks.
