Steven McCombs

Steven McCombs serves as a Realty Specialist responsible for managing real property acquisition, leasing, and disposition activities within his organization. He plays a critical role in ensuring the agency’s physical infrastructure needs are met through compliant, market-driven real estate transactions. His procurement focus centers on securing nonresidential and other real estate property leases, aligning space requirements with operational missions while adhering to federal real property regulations and fiscal accountability standards. McCombs typically handles sole-source and competitive solicitations under the General Services Administration’s real property authorities, ensuring alignment with federal space utilization guidelines and sustainability objectives. McCombs maintains professional relationships with commercial real estate brokers, property management firms, and landowners who specialize in long-term lease arrangements for government facilities. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct negotiations and open-market solicitations, often engaging firms with expertise in commercial property leasing, facility condition assessments, and space planning. He works closely with property owners and third-party representatives to structure lease agreements that meet federal standards for term length, maintenance obligations, and termination clauses, fostering transparent and efficient vendor partnerships. McCombs consistently prioritizes non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach reflects a commitment to market-wide fairness and value-driven outcomes, ensuring all qualified entities have equitable access to opportunities without artificial constraints. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), indicating deep expertise in leasing office spaces, warehouses, and specialized facilities. He specializes in negotiating ground leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and long-term occupancy agreements, demonstrating technical proficiency in real estate law, property valuation, and federal real property management frameworks.
