Maggie Liebel

Maggie Liebel serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining USDA’s field-level operations. Her role centers on securing and managing nonresidential leasing arrangements to establish and maintain physical presence in rural and underserved communities, enabling efficient delivery of farm assistance, conservation programs, and disaster response services. She manages a portfolio of long-term real property leases and related site development services, ensuring compliance with federal real estate standards and mission-aligned spatial planning. Her acquisitions directly support the operational footprint of USDA personnel across diverse geographic regions. Liebel maintains consistent relationships with a small pool of specialized real estate and construction partners, including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These contractors provide end-to-end solutions for property acquisition, lease negotiation, and site preparation, often delivering turnkey facilities tailored to agricultural service delivery needs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced vendors with proven track records in federal real estate transactions, fostering stable, long-term partnerships rather than transactional engagements. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on operational efficiency and geographic reach over targeted socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing vendor capability and facility suitability over certification-based criteria. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 95.7% of activity, with minor use of NAICS 531130 for self-storage units. She specializes in procuring leased office spaces, field service centers, and support facilities that serve as operational hubs for USDA field staff, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property acquisition and facility management within the agricultural service delivery domain.
