Susan Ann Peyton

Susan Ann Peyton serves as a Realty Specialist within the PBS R9 Leasing Division of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in securing and managing real estate assets to support federal operations across Region 9. Responsible for executing lease acquisitions and real property transactions, she ensures federal agencies receive secure, functional, and cost-effective workspace solutions aligned with GSA’s mission of portfolio optimization and footprint consolidation. Her procurement activities center on commercial leasing, space acquisition, and long-term real estate management, primarily involving office and mixed-use facilities critical to federal mission continuity. Peyton maintains consistent working relationships with key real estate stakeholders including EYP REALTY, LLC, THE HUNT TRUST BYPASS TRUST, SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, and DLR HOLDINGS 4, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on institutional landlords, private real estate trusts, and public authority entities capable of delivering large-scale, mission-critical leased spaces. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term lease agreements, build-to-suit arrangements, and adaptive reuse transactions, often requiring complex negotiations around tenant improvements, space planning, and compliance with federal real property standards. Peyton’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s mandate to prioritize efficiency and market-wide competition in real estate acquisitions, where the nature of the requirements typically demands specialized property ownership or development capacity not commonly held by small businesses. Her procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 493190—Other Warehousing and Storage—which encompasses the leasing of commercial and institutional real property for federal occupancy. This includes office buildings, mixed-use facilities, and ancillary support spaces, requiring deep expertise in real estate law, lease administration, and federal property management protocols. Peyton’s domain expertise lies in navigating complex land use regulations and structuring leases that balance federal operational needs with fiscal responsibility.
