Samantha Kurtz

Samantha Kurtz serves as a Project Associate within the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she supports the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets critical to federal agency operations. Her role involves coordinating lease negotiations, conducting market analyses, and facilitating the procurement of commercial office space across the United States. She plays a pivotal part in executing the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint by securing cost-effective, secure, and mission-aligned workspace solutions through competitive leasing processes. Her acquisitions are primarily focused on long-term real property leases, ensuring alignment with federal space standards and sustainability goals. Kurtz maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of commercial real estate developers and property owners, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are rooted in the procurement of high-demand urban and suburban office spaces tailored to federal operational needs. Her engagement with these contractors is characterized by repeat collaboration on complex lease transactions, reflecting a pattern of trust, regulatory compliance, and performance reliability. She works closely with property representatives to ensure lease terms meet GSA standards for security, accessibility, and operational efficiency. Kurtz’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s priority to maximize value and transparency in real estate leasing, rather than relying on socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not exclusively prioritize small business participation, her processes remain fully compliant with federal procurement regulations and emphasize fair competition among all qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing. She specializes in negotiating leases for Class A office spaces, federal tenant improvements, and build-to-suit arrangements, demonstrating technical fluency in property law, lease accounting, and federal facility requirements.
