Maureen Payton

Maureen Payton serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, responsible for securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. She manages the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential office space and related facilities through competitive contracting processes, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and cost-efficiency mandates. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint by consolidating and modernizing workspace through strategic lease negotiations and long-term property management contracts. Payton maintains consistent relationships with a select group of institutional 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 structured around long-term lease agreements for Class A and Class B commercial properties, often involving complex space planning, build-out allowances, and federal compliance requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability, reliability, and adherence to GSA lease guidelines, fostering enduring vendor relationships built on transparency and performance accountability. Payton’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on maximizing value and efficiency through broad market competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space at the lowest practical cost. While small business participation is not a primary driver in her award strategy, all procurements remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding requirements. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—accounting for 97.8% of her activity. She specializes in procuring leased office space, including tenant improvements, utilities, and facility management services, with minimal activity in self-storage (NAICS 531130). Her domain expertise lies in federal real estate leasing, property condition assessments, and lease administration within the GSA’s Real Property Acquisition framework.
