Elaine D. Peters

Elaine D. Peters serves as a Realty Specialist within the PBS R4 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in securing nonresidential lease space to support federal agency operations across the Southeastern United States. Responsible for end-to-end real estate acquisition, she manages the negotiation, execution, and administration of long-term leases for office, warehouse, and mixed-use facilities. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to optimize federal real estate portfolios through cost-effective, mission-aligned solutions that reduce footprint fragmentation and enhance operational readiness. She routinely handles complex real property transactions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on strategic leasing and space consolidation. Elaine maintains consistent contracting relationships with key real estate stakeholders, including CROWN LEASING INC and FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, both of which provide critical leasing and facility management services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced lessors with proven track records in delivering federal-grade commercial space. She engages vendors through competitive solicitation processes, often utilizing multiple-award lease contracts and blanket purchase agreements to ensure flexibility and responsiveness to evolving agency needs. Her contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 98.8% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences, reflecting a primary emphasis on mission necessity and market competitiveness. Only 1.2% of her awards are designated under the Local Area Set-Aside provision (FAR 26.2), indicating a targeted but limited use of geographic preference to support regional economic development. Elaine’s expertise centers on NAICS 531120, the Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings category, which accounts for over 90% of her acquisitions. She specializes in procuring turnkey leased facilities, including office complexes, industrial warehouses, and mixed-use properties, requiring deep familiarity with lease structures, build-out allowances, and property condition assessments. Her technical domain includes real estate market analysis, lease compliance, and facility transition management within the federal real property lifecycle.
