Xitlaly Aranda

Xitlaly Aranda serves as a Leasing Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s Region 9 Leasing Division under the General Services Administration, responsible for managing the acquisition and administration of nonresidential real estate leases to support federal agency operations across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii. In this role, she executes full-cycle leasing transactions—from market analysis and site selection to lease negotiation and contract administration—ensuring federal facilities are secure, functional, and cost-effective. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to optimize the federal real estate portfolio through strategic consolidation and efficient space utilization, primarily focusing on long-term commercial office leases. Aranda maintains established 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 preference for experienced commercial landlords and institutional property owners with proven track records in federal leasing compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes due diligence, risk mitigation, and alignment with GSA’s leasing standards, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. Her procurement pattern demonstrates a strong inclination toward 8(a) competed set-asides, accounting for 41.2% of her awards, indicating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs that promote small business development. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively prioritizes opportunities for disadvantaged businesses, consistently integrating 8(a) firms into the leasing supply chain to meet federal small business participation goals. Aranda specializes exclusively in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—focusing on the acquisition of turnkey office and commercial spaces for federal occupancy. Her expertise lies in evaluating building suitability, lease terms, build-out requirements, and compliance with federal accessibility and security standards, making her a key operator in the federal real estate leasing domain.
