PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Construction & Facilities Management, Office of Real Property, intends to pursue a sole source lease acquisition for approximately 20,919 American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managements Association (ANSI/BOMA) Square Feet of Outpatient Clinic (OPC) in the area of Laredo, TX.
