Driving Efficiency: GSA Awards BPA to Streamline and Modernize Federal Property Portfolio

Leesburg, VA – September 15, 2025 – The General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded the Real Property Solutions Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), a key contract supporting the federal government’s efforts to modernize and streamline its real estate portfolio.

Under this BPA, GSA will gain access to expert solutions that address critical priorities, reducing costs per occupant, improving space utilization, accelerating the disposal of underused properties, and unlocking long-term cost savings through strategic lease and portfolio management. These services are essential as agencies continue to right-size their footprints in response to changing workforce needs and hybrid work adoption.

The BPA provides a streamlined path for GSA to deploy high-impact strategies and technologies across its real property portfolio. With access to data-driven space planning, real-time analytics, and smart decision frameworks, federal leaders will be better equipped to identify consolidation opportunities, reduce lease liabilities, and align occupancy models with mission effectiveness.

This contract also enables faster execution of property disposals—shortening timelines, reducing holding costs, and supporting broader asset rationalization goals. It integrates proven operational and technical solutions to drive measurable improvements in efficiency, agility, and environmental performance across the government space.

“This agreement comes at a pivotal time for the federal real estate community,” said Larry Melton, CEO of The Building People, the BPA prime contractor. “By combining strategy, technology, and execution, this BPA empowers GSA to lead government-wide transformation with confidence and precision.”

The Real Property Solutions BPA will serve as a cornerstone in the federal government’s broader strategy to create workspaces that are both fiscally responsible and better aligned to mission delivery. By helping agencies modernize facilities, reduce excess square footage, and embrace smarter, more flexible workplace models, the agreement directly supports government-wide priorities for cost efficiency, sustainability, and improved employee experience.

As agencies adopt hybrid work and long-term space planning strategies, the BPA ensures they have a proven vehicle to access expertise and solutions that deliver results quickly. The Building People and its partners stand ready to support GSA and client agencies in executing transformation initiatives that will shape the next generation of federal real estate.
