Jenalyn H Keodara

Jenalyn H. Keodara serves as a Realty Specialist with the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, San Diego Field Office (Agency Code: 47PK09), where she plays a critical role in securing and managing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations across the region. Her responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and negotiating leases for commercial office space and other mission-critical facilities, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and optimizing space utilization to meet agency needs. She leads the end-to-end acquisition process for real property leases, coordinating with internal stakeholders, property owners, and legal counsel to deliver secure, efficient, and cost-effective physical infrastructure solutions aligned with federal mission requirements. Keodara works directly with commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and leasing agents who specialize in office and mixed-use commercial buildings. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct lease negotiations with private landlords and real estate firms experienced in federal compliance, rather than competitive bidding for construction or renovation services. She maintains professional, transactional relationships with vendors who understand GSA lease protocols, including familiarity with Form 1748 and GSA’s Real Property Acquisition Handbook, ensuring timely execution and regulatory adherence. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her contracts awarded under full and open competition. There is no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on securing optimal space solutions without socioeconomic constraints, consistent with the nature of real property leasing under 41 U.S.C. Chapter 13. Keodara’s procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She specializes in acquiring leased office space, including Class A and B commercial properties, with an emphasis on location, accessibility, security, and infrastructure readiness to support federal operations. Her expertise lies in lease structuring, rent escalation clauses, tenant improvement allowances, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Standards, making her a key practitioner in federal real estate acquisition within the Southern California region.
