Clara Lee

Clara Eunmi Lee serves as a key procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, specifically supporting the PBS R9 San Diego Field Office. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial real estate and nonresidential leasing services essential to housing federal agency operations across Southern California. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to secure efficient, secure, and mission-aligned physical infrastructure through strategic real property transactions. She primarily handles lease acquisitions, space optimization contracts, and facility support services, ensuring federal tenants have access to appropriate, cost-effective, and sustainable work environments. Lee’s contracting patterns reflect a strong focus on direct leasing arrangements with commercial property owners and real estate management firms. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her portfolio consistently engages with entities experienced in federal lease compliance, property management, and adaptive reuse of commercial buildings. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term stability, regulatory adherence, and alignment with GSA’s Real Property Management standards, fostering partnerships with landlords and brokers who understand federal occupancy requirements and environmental compliance protocols. Lee’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing market competition and leveraging broad market capacity rather than targeted small business set-asides. Her contracting decisions prioritize value, location suitability, and operational readiness over socioeconomic classification criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—accounting for over 93% of her activity. She specializes in securing Class A and B office spaces, mixed-use commercial properties, and other nonresidential real estate assets. Her technical expertise includes lease negotiation, space planning, and compliance with federal property standards under 41 CFR Part 102, demonstrating deep familiarity with GSA’s real estate acquisition lifecycle and federal facility requirements.
