Carole J. Rose

Carole J. Rose serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R3 Acquisition Management Division South, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition of real property and related services to support federal facility operations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Her responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and procuring land, leases, easements, and property management services aligned with the General Services Administration’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable work environments for federal agencies. She works closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to execute complex realty transactions that support agency space requirements, from site acquisition and environmental assessments to lease negotiations and disposition actions. Carole collaborates with a diverse array of real estate professionals, including commercial property brokers, land developers, environmental consultants, and facility management firms. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on transparency, due diligence, and long-term value, ensuring that all transactions comply with federal realty regulations and GSA standards. She frequently engages with firms possessing specialized expertise in federal leasing, historic property rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse, fostering partnerships that align with sustainable and mission-driven outcomes. Carole’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she remains committed to fair and equitable access for all qualified vendors, ensuring that procurement decisions are driven by technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to real estate leasing, property management, and land acquisition services. She specializes in procuring commercial and mixed-use properties, ground leases, and facility relocation packages, often requiring coordination with environmental, architectural, and legal experts to navigate federal compliance frameworks such as the National Environmental Policy Act and the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act.
