Daniel J. McGrath

Daniel J. McGrath serves as a Realty Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, San Diego Field Office (47PK09), where he is responsible for managing the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency missions across the region. His role centers on executing full-cycle real property transactions, including lease negotiations, space analysis, and compliance with federal real estate standards under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. McGrath primarily handles long-term leasing actions for commercial office space and mission-critical facilities, ensuring that federal tenants receive secure, efficient, and cost-effective physical infrastructure aligned with GSA’s strategic space optimization goals. McGrath maintains collaborative relationships with a broad network of commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and facility management firms that specialize in federal leasing. He engages with vendors who provide turnkey solutions for space readiness, including tenant improvements, environmental compliance, and security integration. His procurement approach emphasizes due diligence, market analysis, and regulatory adherence, fostering transparent and accountable partnerships with private-sector landlords and property managers. McGrath’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued as non-set-aside procurements. While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains fully compliant with all federal small business participation requirements, ensuring equitable access for all qualified vendors through full and open competition. His primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal occupancy. McGrath specializes in evaluating building suitability, lease terms, utility infrastructure, and accessibility compliance under the ADA, making him a key technical authority in federal real property acquisition within the San Diego region.
