Donna M.Ouellet

Donna J. Ouellet serves as a Realty Specialist at the General Services Administration’s PBS R1 Administration Support Center-BOS, where she plays a pivotal role in managing federal real property acquisitions across Region 1. Her responsibilities include executing leasing transactions, negotiating real estate contracts, and ensuring compliance with federal property management standards under the Public Buildings Service. She primarily handles non-residential real property acquisitions, including long-term leases, space optimization agreements, and facility modernization support services, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, efficient, and mission-critical federal workspaces. Ouellet collaborates with a network of real estate brokers, property managers, and building service providers to secure optimal federal space solutions. Her procurement activities involve direct negotiations with commercial landlords and real estate agents, as well as coordination with federal stakeholders to meet space requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, her work consistently engages firms with expertise in commercial real estate leasing and property management, fostering transparent, competitive, and compliant vendor partnerships. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of acquisitions issued as non-set-aside actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 17. The remaining 8.3% are awarded as total small business set-asides, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without reliance on socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Ouellet’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 75% of her activity, followed by NAICS 531210 (Real Estate Agents and Brokers) and NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors). This underscores her technical expertise in commercial leasing, property condition assessments, and facility maintenance integration, positioning her as a key practitioner in federal real property acquisition and space utilization strategy.
