Octavia A. Wilson

Octavia A. Wilson serves as a Realty Specialist within the PBS R11 Special Programs Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages real property acquisitions and leasing activities critical to maintaining federal facilities in the National Capital Region. Her role centers on securing nonresidential space through long-term leases and real estate transactions that support the operational needs of high-profile government missions. She plays a pivotal role in aligning realty solutions with the agency’s strategic priorities of facility modernization, operational efficiency, and infrastructure resilience, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations and GSA’s leasing policies. Wilson’s contracting patterns reflect a consistent reliance on direct leasing arrangements with private property owners and institutional landlords, primarily through the 531120 NAICS code for lessors of nonresidential buildings. She engages with a broad spectrum of commercial real estate firms, property management companies, and real estate investment trusts that own and operate Class A office and mixed-use buildings in the D.C. metropolitan area. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based lease agreements that emphasize space optimization, sustainability compliance, and facility readiness for federal occupancy. Wilson’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted as full and open competitions. This indicates a focus on market-driven solutions and a preference for selecting the most operationally suitable properties regardless of vendor socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission need over socioeconomic targeting. Her technical expertise lies in commercial real estate leasing, space planning for federal occupancy, and compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. She specializes in negotiating leases for secure, high-availability environments, including tenant improvements, build-to-suit arrangements, and energy-efficient building standards aligned with federal sustainability mandates.
