Leigh Anna Bartholow

Leigh Anna Bartholow serves as a Transaction Specialist at the Public Buildings Service’s R00 Center for Broker Services, where she plays a critical role in executing real estate acquisition contracts to support federal workspace requirements nationwide. Her responsibilities include managing the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for nonresidential lease transactions, ensuring compliance with GSA policies and federal real property standards. She specializes in securing commercial office space and other nonresidential properties through competitive solicitation processes, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to optimize federal footprints and deliver cost-effective, secure environments for federal personnel. Bartholow maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on long-term lease agreements for Class A and B office buildings, with a focus on locations that meet federal security, accessibility, and operational standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes due diligence, market analysis, and contract administration to ensure timely occupancy and service delivery. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic emphasis on maximizing market competition and leveraging broad industry capacity rather than targeting socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Bartholow’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 93.3% of her activity, with the remaining 6.7% falling under NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). She specializes in procuring leased commercial real estate services, including building space, common area maintenance, and related facility management components, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property leasing and spatial planning for government operations.
