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 acquisitions, including market analysis, solicitation development, negotiation, and contract administration. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to optimize federal footprints through efficient, secure, and cost-effective real estate solutions, ensuring federal personnel have mission-critical workspace aligned with long-term sustainability and operational needs. Schlesinger maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of commercial real estate entities, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These relationships are primarily transactional and market-driven, centered on the leasing of existing commercial properties rather than new construction or development. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive, full-and-open processes that prioritize location, build-out flexibility, and operational readiness over vendor size or certification status. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full-and-open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This underscores a strategic focus on market efficiency and broad vendor access rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, financial stability, and property suitability. Schlesinger’s primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial lease acquisition, property condition assessments, and space planning for federal occupancy. His domain expertise lies in negotiating long-term leases for Class A and B office spaces, managing tenant improvement allowances, and ensuring compliance with federal real property standards under GSA’s Real Property Policy.
