Ali Jowza

Ali Jowza serves as a Realty Specialist at the Public Buildings Service’s San Francisco Service Center under the General Services Administration, responsible for managing the acquisition, leasing, and disposition of federal nonresidential real property. In this role, Jowza supports the agency’s mission to secure mission-critical office and institutional spaces by executing lease negotiations, conducting property assessments, and ensuring compliance with federal real estate standards, including accessibility and sustainability requirements. Their procurement activities primarily involve long-term real property leases for federal agencies requiring stable, compliant, and strategically located workspaces. Jowza collaborates with commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and property management firms to secure optimal leasing solutions for federal tenants. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, their procurement process typically engages established real estate firms with expertise in federal compliance, site evaluation, and lease administration. These partnerships are characterized by a focus on transparency, due diligence, and adherence to GSA’s leasing protocols, ensuring alignment with federal space standards and fiscal accountability. Jowza’s contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on full and open competition under FAR Part 13 and Part 17, prioritizing market-driven outcomes over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally targeted in current procurement activity, all solicitations remain compliant with applicable socioeconomic regulations and are structured to allow voluntary participation by eligible firms. The specialist’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. This includes negotiating gross, net, and modified gross leases for office, administrative, and institutional facilities, with technical knowledge of space planning, building codes, and federal property management standards.
