Yvonne a duPree

Yvonne A. duPree supports the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R4 Office of Leasing within the General Services Administration, where she plays a critical role in securing nonresidential real estate assets to fulfill federal mission requirements across the Southeastern United States. She manages lease acquisition and real estate consolidation initiatives, ensuring cost-effective, long-term space solutions that enhance operational efficiency and mission readiness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of leasing contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—focusing on commercial and institutional properties that accommodate federal agency operations. duPree maintains strategic relationships with key contractors including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, reflecting a preference for specialized real estate developers and facility maintenance vendors with regional expertise. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term lease agreements with firms capable of delivering turnkey space solutions, tenant improvements, and infrastructure compliance. These partnerships are often formed through competitive solicitation processes that prioritize reliability, regulatory adherence, and sustainable building practices. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, duPree consistently directs approximately two-thirds of her leasing portfolio toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no set-aside awards are also issued, the majority of her actions prioritize small business participation, aligning with GSA’s broader mission to expand economic opportunity through federal procurement. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers), indicating expertise in managing both physical space development and materials supply chains tied to building renovations and sustainability initiatives. This dual focus underscores her technical command over integrated real estate solutions that combine construction, environmental compliance, and resource efficiency.
