About this file
This document is GSA Template 3517B, a standard lease agreement template for the acquisition of leasehold interests in real property by the federal government. It serves as Exhibit A containing the general clauses and terms applicable to federal real estate leases.
The template incorporates 56 general clauses organized by category, including definitions, subletting and assignment restrictions, successors' rights, subordination provisions, maintenance obligations, delivery and condition requirements, and progressive occupancy options. Key operational clauses address lessor defaults with remedies including rent reduction, lease termination, and damage recovery; government inspection and entry rights; fire and casualty damage procedures with up to 270 days for repairs; compliance with federal, state, and local laws; and alterations by the government. Payment terms specify monthly rental payments due on the first workday of each month, with provisions for ANSI/BOMA occupant area square footage calculations, common area factor adjustments, and prompt payment with interest penalties for late payments. The template includes security and compliance clauses such as contractor code of business ethics, anti-kickback procedures, drug-free workplace requirements, small business subcontracting plans, equal opportunity provisions for veterans and workers with disabilities, cybersecurity safeguarding requirements, federal acquisition supply chain security act compliance, and personal identity verification requirements. Additional provisions address cost or pricing data, disputes resolution, audits and records examination, and incorporation of FAR and GSAR clauses by reference, with applicability thresholds ranging from the simplified lease acquisition threshold to specific dollar amounts ($2 million, $6 million, $150,000, etc.). The document does not establish pricing terms, timelines, or agency-specific requirements, as it is a reusable template for federal lease solicitations and awards.

GENERAL CLAUSES
(Acquisition of Leasehold Interests in Real Property)
1. GSAR 552.270-4 DEFINITIONS (AUG 2023) (DEVIATION)
When a solicitation or contract uses a word or term that is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or General Services Acquisition Manual (GSAM), the word or term has the same meaning as the definition in FAR 2.101, GSAM 502.101, or GSAM 570.102 in effect at the time the solicitation was issued or lease contract was awarded, unless
(a) The solicitation, amended solicitation, or lease contract provides a different definition (e.g., R100, L100);
(b) An applicable part, subpart, or section of the FAR or GSAM provides a different meaning.
2. GSAR 552.270-5 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION)
The Government may sublet any part of the premises but shall not be relieved from any obligations under this lease by reason of any such subletting. The Government may at any time assign this lease, and be relieved from all obligations to Lessor under this lease excepting only unpaid rent and other liabilities, if any, that have accrued to the date of said assignment. Any subletting or assignment shall be subject to prior written consent of the Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
3. GSAR 552.270-11 SUCCESSORS BOUND (SEP 1999)
This lease shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
4. GSAR 552.270-23 SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT (SEP 1999)
(a) Lessor warrants that it holds such title to or other interest in the premises and other property as is necessary to the Government's access to the premises and full use and enjoyment thereof in accordance with the provisions of this lease. Government agrees, in consideration of the warranties and conditions set forth in this clause, that this lease is subject and subordinate to any and all recorded mortgages, deeds of trust and other liens now or hereafter existing or imposed upon the premises, and to any renewal, modification or extension thereof. It is the intention of the parties that this provision shall be self-operative and that no further instrument shall be required to effect the present or subsequent subordination of this lease. Government agrees, however, within twenty (20) business days next following the Contracting Officer's receipt of a written demand, to execute such instruments as Lessor may reasonably request to evidence further the subordination of this lease to any existing or future mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest pertaining to the premises, and to any water, sewer or access easement necessary or desirable to serve the premises or adjoining property owned in whole or in part by Lessor if such easement does not interfere with the full enjoyment of any right granted the Government under this lease.
(b) No such subordination, to either existing or future mortgages, deeds of trust or other lien or security instrument shall operate to affect adversely any right of the Government under this lease so long as the Government is not in default under this lease. Lessor will include in any future mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument to which this lease becomes subordinate, or in a separate non-disturbance agreement, a provision to the foregoing effect. Lessor warrants that the holders of all notes or other obligations secured by existing mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments have consented to the provisions of this clause, and agrees to provide true copies of all such consents to the Contracting Officer promptly upon demand.
(c) In the event of any sale of the premises or any portion thereof by foreclosure of the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument, or the giving of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Government will be deemed to have attorned to any purchaser, purchasers, transferee or transferees of the premises or any portion thereof and its or their successors and assigns, and any such purchasers and transferees will be deemed to have assumed all obligations of the Lessor under this lease, so as to establish direct privity of gulation (Fgulation e definition in FAe definiti contract was awardecontract nt definition (e.g.,nt definition (e.g R100, L100) s a different meaning.s a different meaning.

(d) None of the foregoing provisions may be deemed or construed to imply a waiver of the Government's rights as a sovereign.
5. GSAR 552.270-24 STATEMENT OF LEASE (SEP 1999)
(a) The Contracting Officer will, within thirty (30) days next following the Contracting Officer's receipt of a joint written request from Lessor and a prospective lender or purchaser of the building, execute and deliver to Lessor a letter stating that the same is issued subject to the conditions stated in this clause and, if such is the case, that (1) the lease is in full force and effect; (2) the date to which the rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; and (3) whether any notice of default has been issued.
(b) Letters issued pursuant to this clause are subject to the following conditions:
(1) That they are based solely upon a reasonably diligent review of the Contracting Officer's lease file as of the date of issuance;
(2) That the Government shall not be held liable because of any defect in or condition of the premises or building;
(3) That the Contracting Officer does not warrant or represent that the premises or building comply with applicable Federal, State and local law; and
(4) That the Lessor, and each prospective lender and purchaser are deemed to have constructive notice of such facts as would be ascertainable by reasonable pre-purchase and pre-commitment inspection of the Premises and Building and by inquiry to appropriate Federal, State and local Government officials.
6. GSAR 552.270-25 SUBSTITUTION OF TENANT AGENCY (SEP 1999)
The Government may, at any time and from time to time, substitute any Government agency or agencies for the Government agency or agencies, if any, named in the lease.
7. GSAR 552.270-26 NO WAIVER (SEP 1999)
No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent or other performance by either party during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach of such provision.
8. GSAR 552.270-27 INTEGRATED AGREEMENT (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION)
This lease, upon execution, contains the entire agreement of the parties and no prior written or oral agreement, express or implied, shall be admissible to contradict the provisions of the lease. Except as expressly attached to and made a part of the lease, neither the request for lease proposals nor any pre-award communications by either party shall be incorporated in the lease.
9. GSAR 552.270-28 MUTUALITY OF OBLIGATION (SEP 1999)

No setoff pursuant to this clause shall constitute a breach by the Government of this lease.
10. GSAR 552.270-10 DEFAULT BY LESSOR (JUL 2023) (DEVIATION)
Occurrence of the following constitutes default by the Lessor and gives rise to the following rights and remedies of the Government:
(a) Prior to acceptance of the space. Failure by the Lessor to perform diligently any obligations required for acceptance of the space or other required improvements within the times specified, other than due to an excusable delay, shall constitute a default by the Lessor. Subject to provision of notice of default to the Lessor, and provision of a reasonable opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may, in its sole discretion, terminate the lease on account of the Lessor's default.
(b) After acceptance of the space. Failure by the Lessor to perform any service, to provide any item, or satisfy any requirement of this lease, other than due to an excusable delay, constitutes a default by the Lessor.
Subject to provision of notice of default to the Lessor, and provision of a reasonable opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may, in its sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions:
(1) Perform the service, provide the item, or obtain satisfaction of the requirement by its own employees or contractors. If the Government elects to take such action, the Government may deduct from rental payments its costs, including administrative costs, incurred in connection with taking the action;
(2) Reduce the rent by an amount reasonably calculated to approximate the cost or value of the service not performed, item not provided, or requirement not satisfied, such reduction effective as of the date of the commencement of the default condition. If default renders the leased premises untenable, the reduction of rent may be calculated as the prorated portion of the monthly rent represented by all such days the leased premises is untenantable;
(3) Terminate the lease if:
(i) The Lessor's default persists notwithstanding provision of notice and reasonable opportunity to cure by the Government, or
(ii) The Lessor fails to take such actions as are necessary to prevent the recurrence of default conditions, and such conditions substantially impair the safe and healthful occupancy of the premises, or render the premises unusable for its intended purposes.
(c) Damages. The Lessor and the Lessor sureties, if any, are jointly and severally liable for any damages to the Government resulting from default or termination, as provided in this clause.
(1) Damages include all costs associated with the replacement lease(s), which include but are not limited to the following: the Government’s aggregate rent, estimated real estate taxes, operating costs, administrative costs, or other reprocurement costs.
(2) If the Government procures replacement premises for a term (including all option terms) in excess of this lease term, the Lessor is not liable for excess Government rent or adjustments during such excess lease term.
(3) Damages to which the Government is entitled to under this clause are due and payable thirty (30) days following the date the Lessor receives notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such damages. DR

(d) Excusable delays.
(1) The Government shall not terminate this lease under this clause nor charge the Lessor with damages under this clause, if:
(i) the delay in substantially completing any work or performing any services arises from excusable delays, and
(ii) the Lessor, within ten (10) days from the beginning of any such delay (unless extended in writing by the Contracting Officer) provides notice to the Contracting Officer of the causes of delay.
(2) The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay. If the facts warrant, the Contracting Officer shall extend the delivery date commensurate with the delay at no additional costs to the Government. A time extension is the sole remedy of the Lessor.
(e) No deduction from rent, termination of lease, or any other action pursuant to this clause will constitute a default by the Government under this lease.
(f) The rights and remedies specified in this clause are in addition to any and all remedies to which the Government may be entitled as a matter of law.
11. GSAR 552.270-9 INSPECTION – RIGHT OF ENTRY (SEP 1999)
a) At any time and from time to time after receipt of an offer (until the same has been duly withdrawn or rejected), after acceptance thereof and during the term, the agents, employees and contractors of the Government may, upon reasonable prior notice to Offeror or Lessor, enter upon the offered premises or the premises, and all other areas of the building access to which is necessary to accomplish the purposes of entry, to determine the potential or actual compliance by the Offeror or Lessor with the requirements of the solicitation or this lease, which purposes shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) Inspecting, sampling and analyzing suspected asbestos-containing materials and air monitoring for asbestos fibers;
(2) Inspecting the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, maintenance records, and mechanical rooms for the offered premises or the premises;
(3) Inspecting for any leaks, spills, or other potentially hazardous conditions which may involve tenant exposure to hazardous or toxic substances; and
(4) Inspecting for any current or past hazardous waste operations, to ensure that appropriate mitigative actions were taken to alleviate any environmentally unsound activities in accordance with Federal, State and local law.
b) Nothing in this clause shall be construed to create a Government duty to inspect for toxic materials or to impose a higher standard of care on the Government than on other lessees. The purpose of this clause is to promote the ease with which the Government may inspect the building. Nothing in this clause shall act to relieve the Lessor of any duty to inspect or liability which might arise as a result of Lessor’s failure to inspect for or correct a hazardous condition.
12. GSAR 552.270-17 DELIVERY AND CONDITION (SEP 2022) (DEVIATION)
(a) Unless the Government elects to have the space occupied in increments, the space must be delivered ready for occupancy as a complete unit.
(b) The Government may elect to accept the space notwithstanding the Lessor's failure to deliver the space substantially complete; if the Government so elects, it may reduce the rent payments.

(DEVIATION)
(a) Ten (10) working days prior to the completion of the space, the Lessor shall issue written notice to the Government to schedule the inspection of the space for acceptance. The Government shall accept the space only if the construction of building shell and tenant improvements conforming to this lease and the approved design intent drawings (DIDs) is substantially complete, and a certificate of occupancy has been issued as set forth below.
(b) The space shall be considered substantially complete only if the space may be used for its intended purpose and completion of remaining work will not unreasonably interfere with the Government's enjoyment of the space. Acceptance shall be final and binding upon the Government with respect to conformance of the completed tenant improvements to the approved DIDs, with the exception of items identified on a punchlist generated as a result of the inspection, concealed conditions, latent defects, or fraud, but shall not relieve the Lessor of any other lease requirements.
(c) The Lessor shall provide a valid certificate of occupancy, issued by the local jurisdiction, for the intended use of the Government. If the local jurisdiction does not issue certificates of occupancy or if the certificate of occupancy is not available, the Lessor may satisfy this condition by providing a report prepared by a licensed fire protection engineer that indicates that the premises and building are compliant with all applicable local codes and ordinances and all fire protection and life safety-related requirements of this lease to ensure an acceptable level of safety is provided. Under such circumstances, the Government shall only accept the space without a certificate of occupancy if a licensed fire protection engineer determines that the offered space is compliant with all applicable local codes and ordinances and fire protection and life safety-related requirements of this lease.DR

20. GSAR 552.270-31 PROMPT PAYMENT (JUN 2011)
The Government will make payments under the terms and conditions specified in this clause. Payment shall be considered as being made on the day a check is dated or an electronic funds transfer is made. All days referred to in this clause are calendar days, unless otherwise specified.
(a) Payment due date—
(1) Rental payments. Rent shall be paid monthly in arrears and will be due on the first workday of each month, and only as provided for by the lease.
(i) When the date for commencement of rent falls on the 15th day of the month or earlier, the initial monthly rental payment under this contract shall become due on the first workday of the month following the month in which the commencement of the rent is effective.
(ii) When the date for commencement of rent falls after the 15th day of the month, the initial monthly rental payment under this contract shall become due on the first workday of the second month following the month in which the commencement of the rent is effective.
(2) Other payments. The due date for making payments other than rent shall be the later of the following two events:
(i) The 30th day after the designated billing office has received a proper invoice from the Contractor.
(ii) The 30th day after Government acceptance of the work or service. However, if the designated billing office fails to annotate the invoice with the actual date of receipt, the invoice payment due date shall be deemed to be the 30th day after the Contractor’s invoice is dated, provided a proper invoice is received and there is no disagreement over quantity, quality, or Contractor compliance with contract requirements.
(b) Invoice and inspection requirements for payments other than rent.
(1) The Contractor shall prepare and submit an invoice to the designated billing office after completion of the work. A proper invoice shall include the following items:
(i) Name and address of the Contractor.
(ii) Invoice date.
(iii) Lease number.
(iv) Government’s order number or other authorization.
(v) Description, price, and quantity of work or services delivered.

(2) The Government will inspect and determine the acceptability of the work performed or services delivered within seven days after the receipt of a proper invoice or notification of completion of the work or services unless a different period is specified at the time the order is placed. If actual acceptance occurs later, for the purpose of determining the payment due date and calculation of interest, acceptance will be deemed to occur on the last day of the seven day inspection period. If the work or service is rejected for failure to conform to the technical requirements of the contract, the seven days will be counted beginning with receipt of a new invoice or notification. In either case, the Contractor is not entitled to any payment or interest unless actual acceptance by the Government occurs.
(c) Interest Penalty.
(1) An interest penalty shall be paid automatically by the Government, without request from the Contractor, if payment is not made by the due date.
(2) The interest penalty shall be at the rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 611) that is in effect on the day after the due date. This rate is referred to as the ‘‘Renegotiation Board Interest Rate,’’ and it is published in the Federal Register semiannually on or about January 1 and July 1. The interest penalty shall accrue daily on the payment amount approved by the Government and be compounded in 30-day increments inclusive from the first day after the due date through the payment date.
(3) Interest penalties will not continue to accrue after the filing of a claim for such penalties under the clause at 52.233–1, Disputes, or for more than one year. Interest penalties of less than $1.00 need not be paid.
(4) Interest penalties are not required on payment delays due to disagreement between the Government and Contractor over the payment amount or other issues involving contract compliance or on amounts temporarily withheld or retained in accordance with the terms of the contract. Claims involving disputes, and any interest that may be payable, will be resolved in accordance with the clause at 52.233-1, Disputes.
(d) Overpayments. If the Lessor becomes aware of a duplicate payment or that the Government has otherwise overpaid on a payment, the Contractor shall—
(1) Return the overpayment amount to the payment office cited in the contract along with a description of the overpayment including the—
(i) Circumstances of the overpayment (e.g., duplicate payment, erroneous payment, liquidation errors, date(s) of overpayment);
(ii) Affected lease number; (iii) Affected lease line item or sub-line item, if applicable; and
(iii) Lessor point of contact.
(2) Provide a copy of the remittance and supporting documentation to the Contracting Officer.
