Carol A. McNamara

Carol N. McNamara serves as a Project Manager within the PBS R2 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration, where she leads the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this role, she oversees the end-to-end leasing lifecycle—from market analysis and site selection to lease execution and facility transition—ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and cost-efficiency goals. Her portfolio primarily involves securing office space and specialized facilities through long-term lease agreements, aligning with GSA’s mission to provide secure, functional, and sustainable work environments for federal personnel. McNamara maintains consistent procurement relationships with key real estate entities, including TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company, both of which are experienced in delivering commercial office spaces under GSA lease protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with institutional landlords possessing expertise in federal compliance, build-out standards, and property management services tailored to government needs. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, reliable vendors with proven track records in delivering turnkey leased facilities. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic focus on market-wide competition rather than targeted small business set-asides, prioritizing facility suitability, location, and operational efficiency over socioeconomic criteria. McNamara’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), which accounts for 85.7% of her acquisitions, indicating deep expertise in commercial lease negotiations and property management contracts. The remaining 14.3% involves NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting occasional need for tenant improvements or facility modifications. Her technical domain centers on federal real property acquisition, with specialized knowledge in lease structuring, space planning, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Management directives.
