Rachel Geiselman

Rachel Geiselman serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions to support USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. Her role centers on securing and managing nonresidential leasing and facility development contracts that enable rural access to farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs. She specializes in long-term real property solutions, ensuring scalable, mission-critical physical infrastructure is in place across underserved regions. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mandate to maintain a persistent, accessible presence in remote agricultural communities. Geiselman maintains consistent relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which provide comprehensive real estate development and site preparation services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in federal real property management, construction readiness, and land acquisition logistics. She engages these partners through competitive solicitation processes, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal facility standards. Geiselman’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting decisions are driven by technical capability, geographic reach, and facility readiness rather than socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—reflecting deep expertise in lease acquisitions, property management agreements, and facility optimization for federal operations. She procures turnkey real estate solutions including office spaces, storage facilities, and operational outposts tailored to the unique needs of rural agricultural service delivery, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal real property acquisition and infrastructure lifecycle management.
