Jesse Peragine

Jesse Peragine serves as a Realty Specialist within the Pbs R8 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where they are responsible for managing the acquisition and administration of nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this role, Peragine leads the end-to-end leasing lifecycle—from market analysis and site selection to lease negotiation, compliance, and portfolio optimization—ensuring that leased spaces meet federal standards for security, accessibility, and operational efficiency. Their work directly advances the agency’s mission to secure cost-effective, sustainable, and mission-aligned facilities while promoting prudent use of taxpayer resources. Peragine collaborates with a broad network of commercial real estate owners, property managers, and leasing agents who specialize in office and operational space. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they engage with a diverse set of private-sector landlords and real estate firms experienced in federal lease compliance, including those familiar with GSA’s leasing policies and the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. Their working relationships are characterized by a focus on transparency, regulatory adherence, and long-term lease performance rather than transactional vendor partnerships. Peragine’s procurement activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of leasing actions conducted without set-asides. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, consistent with GSA’s mandate to secure the most economical and efficient solutions for federal tenants. There is no formal emphasis on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, aligning instead with the agency’s broader strategy of leveraging the full commercial real estate market. Their primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—reflecting deep expertise in commercial office leasing, build-to-suit arrangements, and space adaptation for federal use. Peragine specializes in negotiating leases for Class A and B office properties, including ground leases, renewals, and early termination actions, with a technical understanding of federal space standards, energy efficiency requirements, and facility security protocols.
