Kathy M Kuper

Kathy M. Kuper serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service, Region 10 (PBS R10), under the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in managing federal real property acquisitions and leasing activities. Her responsibilities include negotiating and administering leases for nonresidential federal facilities, conducting space analyses, and ensuring compliance with federal real estate standards. Kuper supports PBS R10’s mission to deliver secure, efficient, and mission-critical workspaces by securing optimal real estate solutions for federal agencies, with a focus on historic preservation and infrastructure modernization in high-visibility federal buildings. Kuper collaborates primarily with commercial real estate brokers, property managers, and building owners to secure leased space for federal occupancy. Her contracting patterns reflect established relationships with firms experienced in federal leasing protocols, including those familiar with GSA’s Real Property Acquisition Framework and the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. She works closely with vendors who understand federal lease compliance, tenant improvement allowances, and space planning requirements for federal tenants. Kuper’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach aligns with GSA’s mandate to achieve best-value outcomes through market-driven solutions, ensuring transparency and fairness in all acquisition actions. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 531210 (Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers), reflecting her specialization in commercial lease acquisition and real estate brokerage services. She routinely procures long-term leased space for office, administrative, and operational use, with expertise in evaluating building suitability, zoning compliance, and facility condition assessments for federal occupancy.
