Susan Walsh

Susan E. Walsh serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R2 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition and lease administration of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her procurement activities center on securing office space, specialized facilities, and ancillary real estate services through competitive leasing processes, ensuring compliance with federal property management standards and cost-efficiency goals. She plays a critical role in translating agency space requirements into legally sound, long-term real property solutions that align with GSA’s mission of optimizing federal real estate portfolios. Walsh maintains established relationships with key real estate lessors, including TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company, which consistently provide commercial office and mixed-use properties under long-term lease agreements. Her contracting approach emphasizes structured negotiations, due diligence in property assessments, and adherence to federal leasing regulations, fostering collaborative, transactional partnerships with private-sector property owners and real estate developers who specialize in federal-grade tenant improvements and build-to-suit configurations. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. There is no current use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a preference for market-driven selection based on property suitability, location, and operational fit rather than socioeconomic criteria. Her primary technical domain is centered on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—accounting for 85.7% of her activity, with additional work under NAICS 531190 for other real estate property leasing. She specializes in procuring turnkey office spaces, build-to-suit developments, and leased facilities requiring federal compliance with security, accessibility, and sustainability standards, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing within the federal context.
