VA CFM RPS Real Estate Broker Services 2016-2018

The Department of Veterans Affairs established this Master IDIQ for real estate broker services supporting VA's Office of Construction & Facilities Management on January 22, 2016, with ordering closed as of July 30, 2021. The vehicle is no longer active; the last task order awarded was June 30, 2021, more than four years ago.

The IDIQ contracted due diligence activities, leasing actions, land acquisition, disposition, land management oversight, construction oversight, and related real estate services for VA property transactions. Task orders span site acquisition support, environmental assessments, surveys (ALTA and metes & bounds), archaeological studies, appraisals, title services, and lease negotiation. Representative orders include due diligence at Camp Nelson, Kentucky; Fort Gibson, Oklahoma; and multi-site projects such as a three-site due diligence engagement valued at $358,127.80 and a Chattanooga, Tennessee module order at $932,810.97.

Interior Systems, Inc. led by order count with 79 task orders and $37.9 million in combined potential value, but Chartwell Enterprises LLC commanded the largest share by value at $63 million across 24 orders. Public Properties LLC held $30.1 million potential value on four orders, and Carpenter / Robbins Commercial Real Estate, Inc. received 37 orders totaling $1.3 million. The VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management placed 135 of 144 total orders, representing $131.5 million of the $132.2 million combined potential value; remaining orders distributed among three VA internal networks with minimal value.

Task order activity declined sharply after 2018. The vehicle issued 43 orders in 2017 and 47 in 2018, dropping to 20 in 2019, 7 in 2020, and 5 in 2021 before ordering authority expired. Only $8.4 million of the $15 million shared ceiling was obligated (6 percent). Set-aside designations split as follows: 52 percent unrestricted, 27 percent service-disabled veteran-owned small business competitive, 17 percent total small business, and 4 percent SDVOSB sole source. Individual task order ceilings typically ranged from $7,000 to $125,000, with most orders closed out via modification rather than exercised to their full ceiling.

The contractor shall support VA's Office of Construction & Facilities Management (CFM) Real Property Service (RPS) and contracting staff, and other VA real property and leasing officials, as needed, in the acquisition of leasehold interests and other leasing actions, land acquisition, disposition, and other land management actions, oversight of construction, due diligence activities, and related real estate services.
