Peggy J. Ivarra

Peggy R. Ivarra serves as a Realty Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R5 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition and administration of nonresidential leasehold interests to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her work centers on securing flexible, cost-effective office space through competitive leasing processes, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations and alignment with agency mission requirements. She handles full-cycle realty acquisitions—from needs assessment and market analysis to lease negotiation and contract administration—focusing primarily on commercial office facilities that house federal personnel and services. Ivarra maintains a consistent working relationship with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of Minneapolis, the primary lessor of federal leased space under her purview. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for long-term, stable partnerships with institutional landlords possessing large-scale commercial real estate portfolios. These relationships are built on predictable lease structures, standardized terms, and a focus on operational continuity rather than transactional vendor turnover. She engages primarily with entities that offer turnkey, federally compliant facilities with robust infrastructure and security protocols. Ivarra’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. Her portfolio prioritizes efficiency and scale over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space solutions through broad market competition. While small business participation is not a contractual requirement in her acquisitions, her process remains fully transparent and compliant with all federal procurement statutes. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing. She specializes in procuring turnkey office environments with built-in utilities, security, and accessibility features, ensuring seamless integration of federal operations into leased facilities. Her domain expertise lies in lease structuring, space planning, and compliance with GSA’s Real Property Management Standards.
