Amy Blattner

Amy Blattner serves as a Realty Specialist within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, where she is responsible for managing real estate acquisition, leasing, and facility management contracts to support USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. Her role is critical to ensuring the agency maintains a scalable, geographically distributed physical infrastructure that enables direct service delivery to rural and underserved communities. She primarily handles nonresidential real property leases and related site development services, ensuring compliance with federal realty regulations and aligning facility needs with mission-critical program requirements across the agricultural enterprise. Blattner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced real estate and construction vendors, including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, which provide long-term leasing solutions and site preparation services for USDA facilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes stability and reliability, favoring contractors with proven expertise in federal realty compliance, property management, and adaptive reuse of existing structures to meet operational needs. These partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements and a focus on lifecycle management of leased facilities. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical capability and facility suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s priority for rapid, mission-driven real estate deployment. Blattner’s procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. She procures turnkey leased spaces, including office, storage, and service facilities, often requiring site modifications to accommodate agricultural program functions. Her expertise lies in evaluating property suitability, lease term optimization, and compliance with federal realty standards to support the operational footprint of USDA field personnel.
