Kathryn Long

Kathryn Long serves as a Realty Specialist II – Contractor within the Pbs R6 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, she manages the acquisition and lease negotiation of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations across the region. Her responsibilities include conducting market analyses, preparing lease documentation, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations, and coordinating with tenant agencies to align space requirements with mission needs. She specializes in long-term leasing transactions for office and administrative facilities, applying strategic real estate planning to optimize cost efficiency and operational readiness while adhering to GSA’s leasing authority and policy frameworks. Kathryn maintains a consistent working relationship with BELLA TERRA LLC, a primary lessor of commercial real estate properties under federal lease agreements. Her procurement approach emphasizes direct negotiations with experienced real estate owners and property managers who possess established portfolios of Class A and B office buildings suitable for federal occupancy. She engages vendors through competitive leasing processes, leveraging market intelligence and property due diligence to secure favorable terms that meet both agency needs and fiscal accountability standards. Kathryn’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under open competition with no set-asides, reflecting a 100% non-set-aside procurement pattern. This indicates a focus on selecting the most viable property offerings based on location, condition, and lease economics rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her acquisitions remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasize value-driven outcomes. Her procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 531120 — Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She exclusively handles leases for commercial office and administrative spaces, requiring deep familiarity with building standards, zoning compliance, build-out allowances, and facility service agreements. Her expertise lies in evaluating property suitability for federal use, negotiating lease terms, and ensuring alignment with GSA’s real property acquisition guidelines.
