DESCRIPTION

Veterans Affairs (VA) currently occupies medical space in a building under a lease in Redding, California that will expire on 2/29/2028.

VA is considering alternative space if economically advantageous, otherwise the Government intends to continue occupancy and pursue a sole source acquisition in accordance with the authority outlined in General Services Administration Acquisition Manual (GSAM) 570.402 Succeeding Leases.

In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government’s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, and replication of tenant improvements, telecommunication infrastructure, equipment, and furniture costs.

VA requires contiguous medical office space yielding approximately 9,999 ANSI/BOMA office area and 60 adjacent parking spaces. The rentable space must not exceed 12,851 Rentable Square Feet (RSF).
