Sarah G. Neujahr

Sarah G. Neujahr serves as a Leasing Contracting Specialist, responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential real property leases on behalf of federal entities. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal leasing regulations, including the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act and the Office of Management and Budget’s leasing guidance, while aligning acquisitions with agency mission needs. Her work directly supports the efficient use of government space by securing long-term, cost-effective leasing arrangements that optimize operational capacity without capital outlay. She typically handles complex, multi-year lease agreements for office, administrative, and operational facilities, often requiring coordination with real estate advisors, facility managers, and legal counsel to ensure contractual terms meet both fiscal and functional requirements. Neujahr maintains professional relationships with a broad spectrum of commercial lessors and real estate management firms, including national property owners, regional landlords, and specialized leasing brokers. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation and transparent evaluation processes, fostering a marketplace of qualified vendors capable of delivering secure, compliant, and well-maintained facilities. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms experienced in federal leasing standards and property management compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 95.8% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a focus on broad market access and value-driven outcomes. Only 4.2% of her awards are designated as 8(a) competed, suggesting a limited but intentional use of socioeconomic programs when market conditions or facility requirements align with small business capabilities. Neujahr’s expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—making her a specialist in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. She procures fully equipped office spaces, mixed-use facilities, and specialized administrative buildings, with deep familiarity in lease structuring, rent escalation clauses, maintenance obligations, and build-out allowances. Her technical domain centers on real property acquisition strategy within the federal real estate ecosystem.
