Win More Government
Real Estate & Property Contracts.

Real estate companies win government contracts primarily through the GSA Public Buildings Service (PBS), which manages the federal government's real estate portfolio and issues Solicitations for Offers (SFOs) for lease procurement. Beyond GSA, DOD, VA, HUD, and civilian agencies all have real estate service needs including appraisal, advisory, site selection, and relocation services. To compete, firms must register in SAM.gov with the right NAICS codes (531120 for lessors of nonresidential buildings, 531210 for real estate agents and brokers, 531390 for other real estate activities), understand the GSA lease procurement process including Lease Contracting Officer requirements, and maintain a record of federal past performance. SamSearch aggregates GSA lease solicitations, direct agency real estate service RFPs, and state government property opportunities to help real estate firms build a competitive federal pipeline.

The federal government spends over $5 billion annually on real estate leasing, property management, and real estate services. Available contract types include: GSA building leases for office, warehouse, laboratory, and special-use space; DOD and military installation property leasing; real estate brokerage and transaction advisory services; property appraisal and valuation services; site selection and market analysis; relocation management and employee relocation services; title and settlement services; environmental due diligence; facilities planning and space programming; and real estate portfolio analysis and optimization. GSA's Public Buildings Service manages approximately 370 million square feet of space across 9,600+ buildings, making it the largest landlord in the country and a primary target for commercial real estate firms.

GSA leases space through a structured process: agencies submit space requirements to GSA, GSA issues a Solicitation for Offers (SFO) publicly on SAM.gov, and property owners or their brokers submit offers demonstrating the property meets location, size, and building standard requirements. GSA evaluates offers on price, technical compliance, and other factors before awarding a lease. Real estate advisory and brokerage firms can also pursue Tenant Representation and Transaction Management contracts to assist agencies outside the GSA portfolio. SamSearch monitors GSA SFOs as soon as they are posted—including advance notice of lease expirations and upcoming solicitations—so your firm can identify opportunities early and position properties or advisory services before the competition.
