Lease/Rental Of Production Buildings

PSC Category X1EC covers lease and rental services for production buildings, encompassing commercial and industrial facilities used for manufacturing, fabrication, and specialized operational purposes. These leases support various federal agency requirements for specialized workspace, including research, production, and operational facilities. The category facilitates government agencies in acquiring tailored building spaces that meet specific operational and technical requirements without direct property ownership.

The current federal contract award in this category involves a lease by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from BNSF Railway Company for facilities at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery in Bingen, Washington. The award is a firm fixed-price purchase order with a ceiling value of $22,668.30, spanning five years with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category and represents a relatively small-scale facility lease typical of federal agency space requirements. The award demonstrates the use of multi-year leasing strategies by federal agencies to secure necessary operational spaces.

The federal contract opportunity posted involves the Department of Veterans Affairs seeking to lease 10,400 rentable square feet of optical laboratory fabrication space in Indianapolis, Indiana. The solicitation specifies detailed requirements including location within a defined urban area, parking specifications, architectural constraints, and proximity to amenities. The opportunity is not currently set aside but is seeking input from Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with an anticipated lease term of 240 months and an estimated construction/buildout cost between $100,000 and $250,000. The procurement utilizes NAICS code 531120 and emphasizes comprehensive capabilities in designing, constructing, and managing federal leased facilities.
