Steven L. Henderson

Steven L. Henderson serves as a Realty Specialist within the Pbs R5 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing and managing federal leasehold interests in nonresidential commercial real estate. His responsibilities include evaluating, negotiating, and executing leases for office and institutional facilities to support federal agency operations nationwide. Henderson ensures that all acquisitions align with GSA’s mission of delivering secure, flexible, and cost-effective space solutions while adhering to federal leasing regulations and fiscal stewardship standards. He primarily handles full-service lease acquisitions for tenant-occupied spaces, working closely with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to structure long-term tenancy agreements that meet agency space requirements. Henderson’s primary contractor relationship is with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, a key lessor of federal office space. His procurement pattern reflects a consistent engagement with institutional landlords and commercial real estate entities that own and operate large-scale, mission-critical facilities. He fosters collaborative, long-term partnerships with property owners who demonstrate compliance with federal building standards, sustainability requirements, and accessibility mandates under the Americans with Disabilities Act. These relationships are built on transparency, regulatory adherence, and performance-based lease terms. Henderson’s leasing portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his procurement approach, all vendors—regardless of size—are evaluated on merit, responsiveness, and facility suitability. His technical expertise is centered on NAICS 531120, the category for lessors of nonresidential buildings. Henderson specializes in procuring leased office space, including Class A commercial properties, government-leased campuses, and mixed-use facilities with federal tenancy. He possesses deep domain knowledge in lease structuring, rent escalation clauses, build-out allowances, and federal property compliance frameworks.
