Cathy Fuqua

Cathy M. Fuqua serves as a Realty Specialist and Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R8 Portfolio Management Division at the General Services Administration. In this dual-role capacity, she leads the acquisition of real property and facility-related services critical to federal workspace operations, including lease negotiations, property assessments, and facility modernization initiatives. Her work directly supports GSA’s mission to optimize the federal real property portfolio by securing efficient, sustainable, and mission-aligned workspace solutions. Fuqua routinely manages complex real estate procurements under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, coordinating with internal stakeholders and external property owners to ensure compliance with federal realty standards and sustainability benchmarks. Fuqua’s contracting patterns reflect a focus on long-term, strategic partnerships with commercial real estate lessors and property management firms. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement activity centers on established entities with proven experience in federal leasing, building operations, and facility maintenance. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate regulatory compliance, financial stability, and operational reliability, ensuring seamless transitions and sustained service delivery across federal occupancy needs. Fuqua’s contracting portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted as full and open competitions. This approach underscores a commitment to market-wide competition and value-driven outcomes, prioritizing capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical merit and performance history. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 80% of her activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 531390 (Other Real Estate Activities) and NAICS 531130 (Miniwarehouses and Self-Storage). She specializes in procuring leased office space, mixed-use facilities, and ancillary real estate services essential to federal agency operations, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property law, lease administration, and facility lifecycle management.
