Regine Jean-Louis, Realty Specialist

Regine Jean-Louis serves as a Realty Specialist within the NIH A E Construction office, responsible for managing real property acquisition and leasing activities critical to the National Institutes of Health’s biomedical research infrastructure. Her role centers on securing and maintaining nonresidential facilities that support high-containment laboratories, advanced imaging suites, and mission-critical utility systems. She executes leases and real property transactions under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, ensuring compliance with GSA guidelines and NIH facility standards. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on real estate, with an emphasis on long-term, mission-aligned space solutions that enable uninterrupted scientific operations. Regine collaborates with a broad network of commercial real estate developers, property management firms, and facility lessors who specialize in federal-grade research environments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with vendors possessing expertise in laboratory build-outs, HVAC modernization, and compliance with NIH Biosafety and Environmental Health Standards. Her working relationships are characterized by technical rigor and adherence to federal leasing protocols, prioritizing vendors with proven experience in federally regulated research facilities. Her contracting activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This approach aligns with NIH’s operational imperatives for rapid facility deployment and technical specificity, where specialized real estate expertise often exceeds the capacity of small business pools. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, her process remains transparent and competitively driven to ensure value and mission readiness. Regine’s primary NAICS focus is 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting her exclusive engagement with leased laboratory and research facility space. She procures turnkey, build-to-suit, and existing facility leases that meet stringent NIH requirements for biosafety level containment, energy resilience, and infrastructure redundancy. Her domain expertise lies in evaluating real property for scientific viability, including power density, vibration control, and utility redundancy essential for cutting-edge biomedical research.
