Waleed Wahbe

Waleed Wahbe serves as a key procurement lead within the Pbs R9 Leasing Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, responsible for managing real estate leasing acquisitions to support federal agency operations across Region 9. He oversees the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for commercial and office space leases, ensuring compliance with federal property standards and alignment with strategic footprint consolidation goals. His work directly enables federal agencies to secure secure, functional, and cost-efficient work environments through long-term lease agreements, space optimization, and portfolio rationalization initiatives. Wahbe maintains established relationships with a focused group of real estate entities, including EYP REALTY, LLC, THE HUNT TRUST BYPASS TRUST, SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, and DLR HOLDINGS 4, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced property owners and institutional lessors with established commercial portfolios, particularly those capable of delivering turnkey leased spaces with integrated services. His contracting approach emphasizes stability, long-term tenure, and property-specific expertise rather than transactional vendor engagement. Wahbe’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not a primary contracting mechanism in his portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to federal acquisition regulations and fair competition principles. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), which constitutes half of his activity, alongside significant engagement in other real estate leasing categories including 531190 and 531110. He specializes in procuring commercial office space, mixed-use properties, and ancillary government support facilities, demonstrating deep expertise in lease structuring, space planning, and federal real estate compliance under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act.
