Lana G. Wood

Lana G. Wood serves as a Realty Specialist at the Farm Service Agency’s Texas State Office, where she manages the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real property to support rural agricultural service delivery. In this role, she is responsible for identifying, negotiating, and securing long-term lease agreements for field offices, service centers, and outreach facilities across underserved Texas counties. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to ensure equitable access to USDA programs by establishing and maintaining physical infrastructure that connects farmers and ranchers with critical financial and conservation services. She specializes in real property acquisitions under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, with a focus on commercial leasehold arrangements that meet federal realty standards and sustainability guidelines. Lana collaborates with a broad network of commercial property owners, real estate brokers, and property management firms to secure suitable facilities that align with FSA’s operational and accessibility requirements. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent relationships with local and regional real estate intermediaries experienced in federal leasing compliance, including those familiar with General Services Administration (GSA) lease protocols and Section 504 accessibility standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes due diligence, site suitability assessments, and lease term optimization to ensure cost-effective, long-term facility solutions. Lana’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a preference for open competition across all business sizes. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with FAR Part 19 and emphasizes value-driven outcomes over demographic classifications. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she secures turnkey commercial spaces for office use, client intake areas, and storage facilities. She specializes in evaluating building condition, zoning compliance, utility access, and proximity to target rural populations, demonstrating deep expertise in federal realty acquisition and facility planning for agricultural outreach.
