Nancy Potts

Nancy Potts serves as Economic Development Manager, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing local economic growth through strategic procurement of real property and facility-related services. While not a traditional contracting officer, her position influences acquisition planning and space utilization decisions that align with broader community development objectives. She collaborates closely with agency stakeholders to identify facility needs, define requirements, and recommend leasing or long-term space solutions that support public infrastructure and economic revitalization initiatives. Her work bridges policy, planning, and procurement, ensuring that real estate acquisitions serve both operational and socioeconomic goals. Nancy Potts does not directly award contracts but facilitates the procurement process by defining space requirements and coordinating with property managers, real estate brokers, and facility service providers. Her engagements typically involve commercial landlords, property management firms, and real estate advisory consultants who provide nonresidential leasing solutions. She maintains collaborative, relationship-driven interactions with vendors who demonstrate reliability, compliance with zoning and accessibility standards, and alignment with municipal development priorities. Her procurement patterns show a clear preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her identified activities falling under unrestricted contracting. This reflects a focus on market-driven solutions rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing operational efficiency and availability of suitable commercial space over targeted certification programs. Nancy’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating a specialized expertise in commercial real estate leasing for public use. She routinely procures office space, mixed-use facilities, and adaptive reuse properties to support economic development programs, workforce training centers, and small business incubators. Her domain expertise lies in evaluating building suitability, lease terms, and long-term occupancy costs to ensure fiscal responsibility and alignment with community investment goals.
