Valerie Waldmeier

Valerie Waldmeier serves as a Contracting Officer for the PBS R6 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition of nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her role centers on executing strategic, long-term leasing contracts for office and administrative space, ensuring alignment with federal mission requirements, fiscal responsibility, and operational efficiency. She manages the full lifecycle of real property leases—from market research and requirement development to contract award and performance monitoring—often coordinating with federal tenant agencies to tailor space solutions that meet evolving workforce needs. Valerie maintains a primary contracting relationship with Bella Terra LLC, a leading lessor of commercial real estate properties, reflecting a consistent pattern of engagement with experienced, high-capacity landlords capable of delivering turnkey leased facilities. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive collaboration, transparent communication, and a focus on performance-based outcomes, ensuring lease terms align with federal standards for security, accessibility, and sustainability. She routinely engages with a select pool of qualified lessors who demonstrate proven capability in managing federal lease obligations. Valerie’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside approach, indicating a preference for full and open competition based on technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and facility suitability rather than socioeconomic designations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her process remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and open to qualified small businesses that meet stringent leasing criteria. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 91.7% of her activity, with additional activity under NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). She specializes in acquiring fully built-out, Class A and B office spaces, including multi-tenant buildings and single-tenant facilities, with expertise in evaluating building systems, leasehold improvements, and compliance with federal accessibility and energy efficiency standards.
