Laura Strohbach

Laura L. Strohbach serves as a Senior Realty Specialist, responsible for managing real property acquisition and leasing activities within her organization’s mission-critical infrastructure portfolio. She plays a pivotal role in securing nonresidential space to support operational needs, ensuring compliance with federal real estate policies and efficient use of taxpayer resources. Her acquisitions primarily involve long-term leases for office, administrative, and mission-support facilities, often requiring coordination with property owners, legal counsel, and facility managers to negotiate terms that align with agency requirements and fiscal constraints. Her expertise lies in evaluating property suitability, conducting market analyses, and executing lease agreements under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. Strohbach maintains professional relationships with commercial real estate landlords, property management firms, and brokerage entities that specialize in commercial leasing. She engages with vendors who provide turnkey space solutions, including build-to-suit options and tenant improvement allowances, ensuring lease terms reflect best practices in federal real estate management. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive negotiation, and adherence to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) for real property transactions. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic programs. This approach underscores her commitment to selecting the most cost-effective and operationally suitable properties regardless of vendor size or certification status. Strohbach’s technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She specializes in procuring leased space for federal operations, including office complexes, data centers, and service facilities, requiring deep familiarity with commercial lease structures, rent escalation clauses, and build-out specifications. Her domain expertise ensures that leased facilities meet federal standards for security, accessibility, and operational continuity.
