Tanya Burks

Tanya L. Burks serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where she plays a pivotal role in securing real estate assets and services critical to federal facility operations. Her responsibilities include managing lease acquisitions, negotiating property agreements, and ensuring compliance with federal real property standards under the General Services Administration. She primarily handles non-residential leasing and real estate services to support the operational needs of federal buildings and land ports of entry, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, efficient, and modern federal infrastructure. Burks maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized real estate and facility support contractors, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with expertise in property management, site maintenance, and facility-related services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear scope definition and contract administration rigor. Burks’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a preference for full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While she does not prioritize designated small business programs, her acquisitions still frequently involve small businesses that compete on an equal footing within open markets, demonstrating a commitment to merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 87.5% of her activity, with additional support for NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). She specializes in acquiring commercial space leases, property management services, and related facility support, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property acquisition, lease administration, and real estate portfolio optimization for mission-critical federal operations.
