Steven Schlesinger

Steven Schlesinger serves as Vice President at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he leads strategic real estate acquisition initiatives to secure commercial office space and nonresidential properties for federal agency operations nationwide. In this capacity, he oversees the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for lease agreements, including site evaluation, lease negotiation, and contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and cost-efficiency mandates. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint through secure, scalable, and mission-aligned workspace solutions. Schlesinger maintains longstanding 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 characterized by recurring lease transactions involving large-scale commercial properties in high-demand urban and suburban markets. His procurement approach emphasizes stability, long-term occupancy, and operational continuity, often resulting in multi-year lease extensions and portfolio-level renewals with trusted vendors who demonstrate proven reliability in meeting GSA’s stringent facility requirements. Schlesinger’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s focus on maximizing efficiency in high-value real estate transactions. While small business participation is not a primary driver in his portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal transparency and fairness standards. His technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in procuring leased office space, flex industrial facilities, and mixed-use commercial properties. Schlesinger’s domain knowledge spans property due diligence, lease structuring, build-out allowances, and federal compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, making him a key leader in federal real estate procurement.
