U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Supplement to the General Services Administration Leasing Desk Guide
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.
Further, GSA Acquisition Letters, Class Deviations, PBS Lease Acquisition Circulars (LAC), PBS Realty Service Letters (RSL) and PBS Leasing Alerts (LA) located on the GSA Leasing Policy Page and applicable to delegated agency leasing activities apply to VA leasing activities, unless CFM ORP issues further clarifying guidance or VA-specific implementation instructions.
