Peter Zepeda

Pedro A. Zepeda serves as a Realty Specialist within the Pbs R9 Leasing Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing and managing leased real estate assets to support federal operations across Region 9. His responsibilities include evaluating, negotiating, and administering commercial space leases to ensure federal agencies have secure, functional, and cost-effective work environments. Zepeda specializes in full-cycle real property acquisition, from site selection and lease negotiation to compliance with federal leasing regulations and portfolio optimization initiatives, directly advancing the agency’s mission to consolidate federal footprints and enhance operational efficiency. Zepeda maintains consistent procurement relationships with key real estate entities including EYP REALTY, LLC, THE HUNT TRUST BYPASS TRUST, SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, and DLR HOLDINGS 4, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on institutional landlords and regional property holders with established commercial portfolios, often involving long-term, multi-tenant office and mixed-use leases. His contracting approach emphasizes due diligence, market analysis, and alignment with GSA’s leasing standards, fostering stable, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in regulatory compliance and fiscal accountability. Zepeda’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside procurement pattern, with no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. His portfolio prioritizes market-rate, competitively sourced leases, aligning with the agency’s strategic emphasis on efficiency and uniformity in federal real estate acquisition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 75% of his activity, followed by NAICS 531190 and 531390 for other real estate leasing and ancillary services. He specializes in procuring office, retail, and mixed-use commercial space, with deep expertise in lease structuring, space planning, and compliance with the Federal Real Property Profile standards.
