Kathy Carbonetti

Kathy Carbonetti serves as a key procurement lead for the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of commercial real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs nationwide. Her role centers on leasing nonresidential office space through competitive solicitation processes, ensuring federal agencies receive secure, efficient, and cost-effective facilities aligned with strategic footprint optimization goals. She oversees the full lifecycle of real estate contracts, from market analysis and requirement development to lease execution and performance monitoring, with a focus on long-term, mission-critical property commitments. Carbonetti maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced real estate developers and property owners, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial landlords with proven experience in federal leasing environments, particularly those capable of delivering turnkey, Class A office spaces in high-demand urban and suburban markets. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with GSA standards, and seamless integration of tenant improvements and operational requirements. There is no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, reflecting a procurement strategy prioritized on market competitiveness and value-driven outcomes rather than socioeconomic preferences. This aligns with the agency’s mission to secure optimal space solutions without artificial constraints, ensuring the broadest possible access to qualified lessors. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep specialization in commercial lease transactions. She procures turnkey office environments, including build-outs, parking, security, and amenity services, requiring expertise in real estate law, federal leasing regulations, and property management compliance. Her domain expertise lies in negotiating complex, long-term leases that balance federal operational needs with market dynamics and fiscal accountability.
