Eileen Marengo

Eileen Marengo serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration, where she manages the acquisition of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her role centers on securing leased office and mission-critical facility space that aligns with federal standards for security, accessibility, and operational efficiency, particularly for law enforcement and administrative functions. She oversees the full lifecycle of leasing contracts—from market research and requirements definition to award and performance management—ensuring compliance with FAR and GSA leasing policies. Her acquisitions primarily involve long-term, mission-sustaining real estate leases rather than construction or fit-out projects. Marengo’s contracting activity is characterized by a reliance on institutional lessors and commercial property owners who hold large-scale, Class A office portfolios across major metropolitan areas. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with national and regional real estate investment trusts, property management firms, and commercial landlords capable of delivering turnkey leased spaces that meet federal build-out and security specifications. Her working relationships are transactional yet strategic, emphasizing lease terms that optimize value, flexibility, and lifecycle cost efficiency over fixed-term commitments. Her procurement patterns show no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This reflects a mission-driven priority for operational readiness and facility suitability over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with GSA’s real estate leasing mandate. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on compliance, location, and facility readiness. Marengo’s focus is overwhelmingly on NAICS 531120, Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings, which accounts for 93.3% of her activity, indicating deep expertise in procuring commercial office space under GSA lease guidelines. She rarely engages residential or miniwarehouse leasing, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal workspace acquisition, lease negotiation, and space planning for mission-critical federal tenants.
