Maria T DiFedele

Maria T. DiFedele serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R2 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of real property leases—including site identification, negotiation, lease execution, and portfolio optimization—to ensure secure, functional, and cost-effective workspaces. DiFedele specializes in procuring office space and ancillary real estate services aligned with federal occupancy standards and sustainability goals, operating within the GSA’s mission to maximize value and efficiency in federal real property management. DiFedele maintains consistent contracting relationships with key real estate entities, including TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on long-term, mission-critical leasing arrangements with experienced commercial property owners and developers who specialize in federal-grade office environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes due diligence, market analysis, and compliance with federal leasing regulations, fostering collaborative, transparent vendor relationships grounded in performance and reliability. DiFedele’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a deliberate focus on competitive, open-market leasing transactions where the primary selection criteria are property suitability, location, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with federal operational needs rather than socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) and NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), indicating deep expertise in commercial office leasing and specialized facility acquisition. She routinely negotiates leases for Class A and B office spaces, mixed-use properties, and ancillary real estate services, demonstrating technical proficiency in federal real property law, lease structuring, and space utilization standards.
