Marlene Rorke

Marlene A. Rorke serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R3 Acquisition Management Division South, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring real estate services to support federal facility operations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Her responsibilities include managing the acquisition of nonresidential leasing arrangements, space planning, and property management contracts that ensure federal agencies have secure, functional, and cost-effective work environments. Rorke’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to optimize the federal real estate portfolio through strategic, lifecycle-based procurement of real property services, with a focus on long-term occupancy and operational efficiency. Rorke collaborates with a diverse array of commercial real estate firms, property managers, and landowners to secure leasehold interests in existing office, retail, and mixed-use buildings. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, lease compliance, and facility condition assessments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with experienced real estate intermediaries capable of delivering turnkey leasing solutions under GSA’s Federal Property Management Regulations and the Real Property Acquisition Handbook. Rorke’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mandate to maximize value and efficiency in federal real estate transactions, prioritizing market-driven solutions over socioeconomic set-asides. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established, financially stable landlords and property management entities with proven capacity to meet federal standards. Her primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring long-term leases for federal agency occupancy. She evaluates properties based on building condition, accessibility, security compliance, and energy efficiency, ensuring alignment with GSA’s sustainability and accessibility mandates. Rorke’s expertise lies in navigating complex real estate markets to secure optimal space solutions that balance federal mission needs with fiscal responsibility.
