Peter Zepeda - Lease Contracting Officer

Peter Zepeda serves as a Lease Contracting Officer for the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he is responsible for executing commercial real estate leases to secure nonresidential workspace for federal agencies nationwide. His role is central to the agency’s mission of optimizing the federal footprint through strategic, cost-effective property acquisition, ensuring that leased facilities meet operational, security, and sustainability standards. Zepeda primarily manages long-term lease agreements for office space and other nonresidential properties, utilizing competitive solicitation processes under FAR Part 17 and GSA’s Lease Acquisition Policy to secure mission-critical real estate assets. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 reflect a focus on high-value, mission-aligned properties in key metropolitan markets, with an emphasis on turnkey lease solutions that minimize tenant fit-out costs and accelerate occupancy timelines. His contracting approach prioritizes efficiency, risk mitigation, and compliance with federal leasing standards. Zepeda’s portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside contracting pattern, indicating a preference for full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This aligns with the agency’s strategic emphasis on securing the most suitable properties through market-driven processes rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—demonstrating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property condition assessments, lease administration, and space planning for federal occupancy. He specializes in procuring turnkey office environments with integrated security, ADA compliance, and energy-efficient infrastructure, ensuring federal tenants receive functional, secure, and sustainable workspaces.
