About this file
This is an exhibit template for broker project lease proposals within GSA's Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) framework, specifically designed for the Olympia, Washington CBOC leasing opportunity (Solicitation 36C24W26R0012). The exhibit provides two versions of broker commission language that the RLP drafter must select based on the underlying broker contract structure: Version 1 applies to broker projects with commission credit under the National Broker Contract 2, GLS, or GLS Plus contracts with task orders issued prior to January 16, 2026, while Version 2 applies to broker projects without commission credit under the Interim Broker Contract effective January 16, 2026 and names CARPENTER/ROBBINS COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE, INC. as the authorized GSA broker.
Under both versions, offerors must: negotiate broker commissions based only on the firm lease term (not option periods) consistent with local business practices; disclose all commissions and fees to both their own representatives and GSA's broker on GSA Form 1217; submit an executed broker commission agreement with their initial offer; and acknowledge potential dual agency situations. Version 1 uniquely includes provisions for a Commission Credit—a percentage of commission the broker foregoes for the Government's benefit—which must be applied as equal monthly deductions against rental payments until fully recaptured, and requires execution of a lease amendment documenting the credit terms. Both versions require commissions to be treated as confidential financial information and prohibit separate consideration of commission amounts in price evaluation. Required submittals include an executed Broker Commission Agreement (Exhibit XT) and a Dual Agency Acknowledgement Statement, with the template last updated in May 2026 to consolidate prior revisions.

BP 1.01 BROKER COMMISSION
A. For the purposes of this RLP, [TYPE IN NAME OF BROKER] (the Broker) is the authorized contractor real estate broker representing GSA. The Government expects the Lessor to pay a commission to the Broker. By submitting an offer, the Offeror agrees that if the Offeror is paying a commission or fee in connection with this Lease to a listing agent, an offering agent, or broker, property manager, developer, or any other agent or representative, then the Offeror will pay a commission to the Broker to which the Broker would ordinarily be entitled consistent with local business practices, as evidenced through a brokerage agreement between the Offeror and the Broker. The commission will be negotiated between the Offeror and the Broker and will be based on a Lease term not to exceed the Firm Term of the Lease contemplated by this RLP. Commissions will not be negotiated or collected on option periods or for Lease terms beyond the Firm Term of the Lease. As part of the offer, the Offeror must disclose all commissions and/or fees to be paid by the Offeror including both the Offeror’s agent(s), broker(s), property manager, developer or any other agent or representative and the Broker. The Offeror must enter the commission amounts for its representative and the amount to GSA’s Broker in blocks 31a and 31b respectively on GSA Form 1217, Lessors Annual Cost Statement. An executed commission agreement reflecting this agreement must be submitted with the initial offer.
B. Offerors are advised that there is a potential for a dual agency situation to arise under this procurement, whereby the Broker’s Company may represent both GSA and another Offeror under this lease action. By submitting an offer, the Offeror acknowledges the potential for a dual agency situation. Should there be an actual dual agency, the Broker will notify all Offerors of the actual dual agency and request written acknowledgement statements from all Offerors.
C. For the benefit of the Government, the Broker has agreed to forego a percentage of any commission that it is entitled to receive in connection with the contemplated Lease. This amount must be specifically set forth at time of lease award. The resulting total dollar value of the foregone commission (the Commission Credit) must be applied in equal monthly amounts against rental payments due and owing under the Lease. The rental amount payable must be reduced by the Commission Credit at the commencement of the Lease, over the minimum number of months that will not exceed the monthly shell rental, until the Commission Credit has been fully recaptured. The parties agree to execute a Lease Amendment setting forth the full nature, extent, terms, and conditions of commissions paid to the Broker and the Commission Credit to be applied against the Government’s rental payment obligations under the Lease. Commissions and/or credits must be treated as confidential financial information and Offerors will refrain from public disclosure or using the information for any other purpose than that for which it was furnished without consent of the GSA LCO.
D. For purposes of price evaluation, the Commission Credit must be treated as a deduction from the rent in accordance with the Method of Award. The amount of any commission paid to the Broker must not be considered separately as part of this price evaluation since the value of the commission is included in the rental consideration.
