VA’s Office of Construction and Facilities Management’s (CFM) Office of Real Property (ORP) is the dedicated office within VA responsible for issuing policies and procedures for VA’s leasing program Department-wide. VA leasing professionals are required to follow policies and procedures in GSA Public Building Service’s (PBS) Leasing Desk Guide (LDG), as supplemented by this document. Additionally, VA leasing professionals are required to comply with CFM ORP issued policies, VA Directives, GSA’s Acquisition Manual (GSAM), and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as applicable to real property leases.
