10) Evaluation Criteria Sub-Factor (b) – Having a signed lease without a contract would seem to be something that the evaluation committee would not expect. What would be the technically acceptable proof of being able to provide a warehouse of the size and location required in the PWS.

Technically acceptable proof of the ability to provide a warehouse of the required size and location, as specified in the PWS, must demonstrate legal control or guaranteed access to the facility. Acceptable documentation includes:

• A signed lease agreement that clearly identifies the warehouse address, size, and lease term.

• Ownership documents such as a deed or title showing you own the property.

• A binding letter of commitment or intent from the property owner confirming that the space will be available for your use under agreed terms.

The documentation should clearly demonstrate exclusive control or guaranteed access for the duration required by the PWS.
