Rich Bogatay

Rich Bogatay serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Center for Broker Services, where he plays a central role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. His responsibilities encompass the end-to-end acquisition of nonresidential leasehold interests, including office space, mixed-use properties, and ancillary facilities, all aligned with the GSA’s mission to optimize federal footprints through strategic real estate consolidation. Bogatay manages complex leasing transactions under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, ensuring compliance with federal real property regulations and fiscal accountability standards. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of commercial 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 are primarily structured as long-term lease agreements for high-demand urban and suburban locations, reflecting a preference for established property holders with proven track records in federal compliance and facility management. His contracting approach emphasizes stability, risk mitigation, and operational continuity over competitive bidding for non-competitive or sole-source scenarios. Bogatay’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s priority to secure optimal space at market rates without socioeconomic constraints, prioritizing mission needs over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR guidelines and transparency standards. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 531190—Lessors of Other Real Estate Property—where he specializes in negotiating and administering commercial leases for federal occupancy. His domain expertise encompasses property due diligence, space planning, rent escalation clauses, and federal lease compliance, making him a specialist in non-construction real estate acquisition within the federal sector.
