Eduardo Depina

Eduardo DePina serves as a key procurement professional within the PBS R1 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential leased space to support federal agency operations nationwide. His role centers on executing full lifecycle leasing contracts that align with federal real property standards, ensuring secure, efficient, and fiscally responsible facilities. He specializes in negotiating and administering long-term leases for office, institutional, and mixed-use properties, working closely with property owners, brokers, and real estate advisors to meet mission-critical space requirements while adhering to GSA’s sustainability and space utilization goals. DePina collaborates with a broad spectrum of commercial real estate landlords and property management firms, primarily through competitive solicitation processes under FAR Part 13 and Part 17. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, market research, and performance-based lease terms, fostering relationships with both national real estate portfolios and regional property holders. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in federal leasing compliance, building maintenance, and adaptive reuse of historic properties. His procurement activity reflects a strict focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This underscores a commitment to market-driven outcomes and value-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, consistent with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space at the lowest practical cost. His primary procurement domain is NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in acquiring leased space for federal occupancy, including build-to-suit arrangements, tenant improvements, and leasehold interest acquisitions. His expertise lies in evaluating building systems, location suitability, and operational feasibility to ensure federal facilities meet security, accessibility, and environmental standards.
