About this file

This is a GSA Lease Template L101 for Sale-Leaseback transactions (revised May 2025), designed as a blank form for completion by leasing specialists upon selection for award. The template establishes the contractual framework between a Lessor (fee owner of the property) and the United States of America, acting through the General Services Administration (GSA), for leasing federal office space.

The lease structure includes a firm term and non-firm term, with the Government retaining termination rights after the firm period upon providing written notice (number of days to be specified). Rent is payable monthly in arrears and comprises three components: shell rent (at a specified per-RSF rate), operating costs (subject to 3.0% annual adjustments after year one), and parking costs (at specified rates per space per month for structured and surface parking). The template requires input of specific rental rates, lease commencement date, term duration (in years), parking quantities, and building improvements to be completed by the Lessor as part of shell rent. Renewal options are available at the Government's discretion for multiple years at specified rates. The Lessor is responsible for all building shell requirements, utilities, HVAC, janitorial services, fire and life safety compliance (NFPA standards), accessibility (ABAAS), asbestos management, certificate of occupancy, indoor air quality, hazardous materials remediation, and mold remediation. Standard GSA clauses regarding identity verification of personnel, CUI building information safeguarding, and change of ownership/novation (FAR 42.12) are incorporated by reference. The Government waives restoration rights upon lease expiration or termination.

Additionally, the Lessor must notify the Lease Contracting Officer or their designee whenever a GSA PIV Access card is lost or stolen in which event the Lessor may be responsible for reimbursing the Government for replacement credentials at the current cost per PIV HSPD12 credential.

Unreturned PIV Access cards will be considered as lost or stolen cards.

H. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional background checks on Lessor personnel and contractors with routine access to

Government leased Space throughout the term of the Lease to determine who may have access to the Premises.

I. The Lease Contracting Officer may delay final payment under a contract if the Contractor fails to comply with these requirements.

J. The Lessor shall insert this paragraph in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is required to have physical access to a federally controlled facility or access to a federal information system.

4.09 SAFEGUARDING AND DISSEMINATION OF CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI) BUILDING INFORMATION (OCT 2022)

This clause applies to all recipients of CUI building information (which falls within the CUI Physical Security category), including offerors, bidders, awardees, contractors, subcontractors, lessors, suppliers and manufacturers.

Marking CUI. Contractors must submit any contractor-generated documents that contain building information to GSA for review and identification of any CUI building information that may be included. In addition, any documents GSA identifies as containing CUI building information must be marked in accordance with the Order and the Marking Controlled Unclassified Information Handbook (the current version may be found at

LEASE NO. GS-XXP-LXXXXXXX, PAGE 12 LESSOR: ________ GOVERNMENT: ________ GSA TEMPLATE L101

HTTPS://WWW.ARCHIVES.GOV/FILES/CUI/20161206-CUI-MARKING-HANDBOOK-V1-1.PDF) before the original or any copies are disseminated to any other parties. If CUI content is identified, the CO may direct the contractor, as specified elsewhere in this contract, to imprint or affix CUI document markings (CUI) to the original documents and all copies, before any dissemination, or authorized GSA employees may mark the documents.

1. Authorized recipients.

a. Building information designated as CUI must be protected with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a Lawful Government Purpose to access such information, as defined in 32 C.F.R. § 2002.4(bb). Those with such a Lawful Government Purpose may include Federal, state and local government entities, and non-governmental entities engaged in the conduct of business on behalf of or with GSA. Non-governmental entities may include architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, utilities, and others submitting an offer or bid to GSA, or performing work under a GSA contract or subcontract. Recipient contractors must be registered as “active” in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at www.sam.gov, and have a Lawful Government Purpose to access such information. If a subcontractor is not registered in the SAM database and has a Lawful Government Purpose to possess CUI building information in furtherance of the contract, the subcontractor must provide to the contractor its DUNS number or its tax ID number and a copy of its business license. The contractor must keep this information related to the subcontractor for the duration of the contract and subcontract.

b. All GSA personnel and contractors must be provided CUI building information when needed for the performance of official Federal, state, and local government functions, such as for code compliance reviews and the issuance of building permits. Public safety entities such as fire and utility departments may have a Lawful Government Purpose to access CUI building information on a case-by-case basis. This clause must not prevent or encumber the necessary dissemination of CUI building information to public safety entities.

2. Dissemination of CUI building information:

a. By electronic transmission. Electronic transmission of CUI information outside of the GSA network must use session encryption (or alternatively, file encryption) consistent with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-171. Encryption must be through an approved NIST algorithm with a valid certification, such as Advanced Encryption Standard or Triple Data Encryption Standard, in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, as required by GSA policy.

b. By nonelectronic form or on portable electronic data storage devices. Portable electronic data storage devices include CDs, DVDs, and

USB drives. Nonelectronic forms of CUI building information include paper documents, photographs, and film, among other formats.

i. By mail. Contractors must only use methods of shipping that provide services for monitoring receipt such as track and confirm, proof of delivery, signature confirmation, or return receipt. CUI markings must not appear on the exterior of packages.

ii. In person. Contractors must provide CUI building information only to authorized recipients with a Lawful Government Purpose to access such information. Further information on authorized recipients is found in section 1 of this clause.

3. Record keeping. Contractors must maintain a list of all entities to which CUI is disseminated, in accordance with sections 2 and 3 of this clause. This list must include, at a minimum: (1) the name of the state, Federal, or local government entity, utility, or firm to which CUI has been disseminated; (2) the name of the individual at the entity or firm who is responsible for protecting the CUI building information, with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a Lawful Government Purpose to access such information; (3) contact information for the named individual; and (4) a description of the CUI building information provided. Once “as built” drawings are submitted, the contractor must collect all lists maintained in accordance with this clause, including those maintained by any subcontractors and suppliers, and submit them to the CO. For Federal buildings, final payment may be withheld until the lists are received.

4. Safeguarding CUI documents. CUI building information (both electronic and paper formats) must be stored within controlled environments that prevent unauthorized access. GSA contractors and subcontractors must not take CUI building information outside of GSA or their own facilities or network, except as necessary for the performance of that contract. Access to the information must be limited to those with a Lawful Government Purpose for access.

5. Destroying CUI building information. When no longer needed, CUI building information must either be returned to the CO or destroyed in accordance with guidelines in NIST Special Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization.

6. Notice of disposal. The contractor must notify the CO that all CUI building information has been returned or destroyed by the contractor and its subcontractors or suppliers in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 of this clause, with the exception of the contractor's record copy. This notice must be submitted to the CO at the completion of the contract to receive final payment. For leases, this notice must be submitted to the CO at the completion of the lease term.

7. CUI security incidents. All improper disclosures or receipt of CUI building information must be immediately reported to the CO and the GSA

Incident Response Team Center at gsa-ir@gsa.gov. If the contract provides for progress payments, the CO may withhold approval of progress payments until the contractor provides a corrective action plan explaining how the contractor will prevent future improper disclosures of CUI building information. Progress payments may also be withheld for failure to comply with any provision in this clause until the contractor provides a corrective action plan explaining how the contractor will rectify any noncompliance and comply with the clause in the future.

8. Subcontracts. The contractor and subcontractors must insert the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.
