Albert J Rowand

Albert J. Rowand serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R4 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration, where he is responsible for securing and managing nonresidential lease space to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. His role centers on executing strategic real estate acquisitions in alignment with GSA’s mission to optimize federal footprint efficiency, reduce overhead, and ensure mission-critical space readiness. Rowand specializes in long-term lease negotiations, space consolidation initiatives, and compliance with federal real property acquisition regulations, primarily handling nonresidential building leases under the 531120 NAICS code. His primary contractor relationships include CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, with whom he collaborates on complex lease transactions involving commercial office space, industrial facilities, and specialized waterfront properties. These partnerships reflect a focus on experienced real estate lessors with proven capacity to deliver turnkey, federally compliant leasehold interests. Rowand’s procurement approach emphasizes stability, long-term occupancy agreements, and rigorous due diligence on property condition and tenant obligations. Rowand’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a consistent preference for full and open competition in lease acquisitions. This pattern underscores a focus on selecting the most cost-effective and operationally suitable space regardless of vendor size or socioeconomic status, aligning with GSA’s mandate to prioritize mission needs over socioeconomic preferences in real estate procurement. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he evaluates building specifications, lease terms, utility infrastructure, and compliance with federal accessibility and security standards. He specializes in procuring leased space for administrative, operational, and logistical federal functions, demonstrating deep familiarity with commercial real estate markets, lease structuring, and property performance metrics.
