Real Estate Acquisition Support Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management awarded a multiple-award Master IDIQ for real estate acquisition support services on June 1, 2021, with ordering closed as of May 31, 2026. The vehicle carried a service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside and is no longer accepting new task orders.

Over its five-year ordering window, the vehicle generated 88 task orders totaling $90.1 million in combined potential value, with only $1.4 million obligated to date (2% of potential value). Activity peaked in 2023 with 39 orders, declining to 13 orders in 2025 and 7 in 2026 before the vehicle closed. The most recent award occurred on July 8, 2026, one week before the ordering deadline expired.

Task orders procure lease acquisition support services including market surveys, request for lease proposal drafting, administrative offer reviews, proposal financial analysis, negotiation support, lease document preparation, and post-award support including FOIA and litigation responses. Work spans multiple VA facility locations nationwide. Recent awards show typical single-project ceiling values of $1.5 million for individual outpatient clinics and CBOCs, with two mega-orders standing out: a $29.8 million warehouse acquisition and a $23.1 million veterans recovery center project.

The contractor base concentrates moderately among eight primes. Range Partners-Sd, Inc. holds the largest share by potential value at $29.8 million across 3 orders, followed by Carpenter / Robbins Commercial Real Estate, Inc. with $23.4 million across 6 orders and DHC Real Estate Services, LLC with $12.2 million across 18 orders. Chartwell Enterprises LLC leads by order count at 26 awards totaling $10.6 million potential value. The top five primes capture 93 percent of combined potential value.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to VA's Office of Construction and Facilities Management, which placed 82 orders valued at $31.1 million combined. The Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 accounts for 4 orders but carries $58.9 million in combined potential value—a concentration risk reflecting large multi-location or multi-year commitments not reflected in order count alone.

Set-aside designations show 80 percent of orders (70 awards) designated as service-disabled veteran-owned small business, with the remaining 20 percent (18 orders) unrestricted. Task order durations typically extend two to four years, with completion dates reaching into 2029 on orders awarded in 2026.

Contract includes 1) Participating in a project orientation with the PM and LCO, other Government personnel, and other contractors; 2) providing GREX support; 3) advertising the requirement; 4) surveying the market and preparing a market survey report; 5) drafting issuing a LCO approved RLP and any RLP amendments; 6) conducting administrative reviews of offers; 7) inputting proposal financial data into analysis tools for LCO analysis and evaluation; 8) providing support to LCO in negotiations and discussions with offerors; 9) preparing the lease documents and any lease amendments, and coordinating required signatures; 10) coordinate Acceptance Inspection; and 11) support to VA with FOIA inquiries, Congressional and other governmental inquiries, claims, litigation, settlements, and disputes
