Dustin McCarty

Dustin McCarty serves as a Leasing Specialist responsible for managing nonresidential real property leases on behalf of his agency, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and optimizing space utilization through strategic leasing solutions. His role is central to the agency’s facility acquisition mission, where he evaluates lease proposals, negotiates terms, and oversees contract administration for commercial real estate arrangements. He primarily handles full-service gross leases, triple net leases, and build-to-suit arrangements for office, laboratory, and administrative facilities, ensuring alignment with federal space standards and sustainability requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, McCarty engages with a broad spectrum of commercial lessors, including real estate investment trusts, property management firms, and private landowners who own and operate nonresidential buildings. His procurement process emphasizes competitive solicitation under FAR Part 17, with a focus on transparency, value analysis, and long-term cost efficiency. He routinely collaborates with facility planners and financial analysts to align lease decisions with agency mission needs and capital investment strategies. McCarty’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This indicates a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing best value through broad vendor participation rather than targeted small business programs. His approach aligns with agency-wide directives that emphasize efficiency and cost-effectiveness in real property management. His procurement expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 531120, the category for lessors of nonresidential buildings, excluding miniwarehouses. He specializes in procuring leased space for operational use, including office complexes, industrial facilities, and mixed-use commercial properties. His technical domain knowledge encompasses lease structuring, rent escalation clauses, tenant improvement allowances, and compliance with GSA leasing guidelines, making him a key resource in federal real property acquisition.
