Barbara J Hanna

Barbara J. Hanna serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s Greater West region under the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in managing federal real property acquisitions and leasing activities. Her responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and securing real estate solutions to support agency operations, with a focus on optimizing facility utilization, ensuring accessibility compliance, and advancing infrastructure resilience. She primarily handles non-prospectus leasing actions for commercial and institutional properties, working closely with property owners, brokers, and legal counsel to negotiate leases that align with federal standards and sustainability goals. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to provide safe, efficient, and modern workspaces for federal employees across the region. Barbara collaborates with a broad network of commercial real estate lessors, property management firms, and regional brokers to secure suitable facilities. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent partnerships with firms experienced in federal leasing compliance, environmental assessments, and ADA-aligned property modifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive solicitation, and adherence to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on reliability and regulatory alignment. Barbara’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s priority to maximize value and efficiency through broad market engagement, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs in her portfolio, her process remains fully compliant with all federal socioeconomic contracting requirements. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 531190—Lessors of Other Real Estate Property—accounting for 95.8% of her activity, which includes leasing office spaces, administrative buildings, and mixed-use facilities. The remaining 4.2% involves NAICS 531130, for self-storage and miniwarehouse rentals. Barbara’s expertise lies in evaluating property suitability for federal use, negotiating lease terms, and ensuring compliance with GSA’s Real Property Standards and energy efficiency benchmarks.
