DESCRIPTION

Veterans Affairs (VA) currently occupies 250 surface parking spaces under a lease in Martinez, California that will expire on 6/30/2026.

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.

VA requires surface (non-structured) parking yielding 250 parking spaces.
