About this file

This is Amendment 0001 to solicitation 12FPC426Q0057, issued by the USDA FPAC Business Center Eastern Section on July 27, 2026. The amendment provides clarifications to questions received in response to the original solicitation for office space rental.

The solicitation requires a 1,000 to 1,500 square foot exclusive office suite with gender-separated restrooms, parking for 4 employee spaces (formally reserved) and 2 visitor spaces (preferred but not required), and a pickup-truck and trailer pull-through maneuvering area. The amendment clarifies that the office suite may be located within a larger building provided USDA has sole and exclusive use; adjoining restrooms at a reasonable distance are acceptable; shared pull-through access is permissible if kept continuously clear and unobstructed; and properties slightly larger than 1,500 square feet are acceptable if only 1,000 to 1,500 square feet is designated and priced for USDA's exclusive occupancy. The required occupancy date is September 1, 2026, though September 15, 2026 is the latest acceptable move-in date. All utilities, Wednesday janitorial service, snow removal, and operating expenses must be included in a firm fixed-price all-inclusive monthly rental amount without separate reimbursable charges. Property owner authorization or letter of intent must be submitted with initial quotations if the offeror is not the property owner. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027. The Contracting Officer is Lizabeth Kuhaneck (lizabeth.kuhaneck@usda.gov) and the Contract Specialist is Jill Craft (jill.craft@usda.gov).
