1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Office of Portfolio

Management and Customer Engagement (PT), Real Property Valuation Division (PTA), 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC is pursuing a new national Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract with an established Real Property Informational Services company.

1.2 Objective

This contract will provide valuable commercial real estate data and information resources to enable individual and portfolio-wide management and evaluation of GSA’s owned and leased properties by the various PBS divisions and regions listed below:

Office of Portfolio Management and Customer Engagement: The market data, leasing data and comparable sale data (hereafter referred to as market data) allows PBS to better determine the appropriate strategy for an asset based on its competitive position in the market. The Real

Property Valuation Division uses the information to cross-check appraisals to confirm the subject/comparable property/buildings and that projected rental rates and/or sales prices are comparable to recent market transactions. It will also aid in monitoring how well PBS is operating its owned buildings.

Office of Property Disposal: The market data helps PBS validate independent appraiser valuations to ensure that GSA receives a fair price for properties that are selected for disposal.

Capital Investment Division: Provides knowledge of the local real estate markets to aid in ensuring that any new construction, major R&A or modernization projects will be cost effective.

Leasing and Analysis Divisions: Provides information on the rents and expenses in comparable buildings in local markets to ensure that the rents GSA charges to customer agencies, whether in leased or owned buildings, are consistent with the market.

1.3 Background

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Building Services (PBS) requires a nationwide contract to provide national, regional, and local real estate market and property information, which provides both macro and micro market data down to the local comparable level to properly evaluate property specific investment options for owned and leased buildings, property acquisitions and disposals nationwide and to include U.S. Territories.

This acquisition is managed by the Office of Portfolio Management and Customer Engagement

(PT), Real Property Valuation Division (PTA), but is funded by each user’s organization, division, or region.

Work will be primarily performed in the Washington, D.C. Metro area, and in GSA Regional

Offices:

Region 1 = Boston; Region 2 = New York; Region 3 = Philadelphia; Region 4 = Atlanta;

Region 5 = Chicago; Region 6 = Kansas City; Region 7 = Fort Worth; Region 8 = Denver;

Region 9 = San Francisco; Region 10= Auburn, WA; Region 11 & Central Office =

Washington, DC.

Additionally, this includes any field office for these Regional Offices. PBS (Portfolio and

Leasing Divisions and the Regional Leasing, Portfolio, Appraisal and Disposal Divisions) require local comparable real estate market information to validate lease rates, appraisal information and valuations obtained from private sector appraisers, and to evaluate FAR appraisals and set the Fair Annual Rents for its owned inventory, annually. In addition, the

Real Property Valuation Division continually performs a myriad of consultations for various projects that require such market data and forecasts.

The current Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract number: 47PA0118A0008, which was executed on September 28, 2018, and expires on December 31, 2023. Numerous delivery orders (BPA Calls) under this contract (base and all options) were executed with a current total of approximately 141 nation-wide GSA users. This current BPA contract was intended to procure National, Regional, or Local coverage, but procures only one type of license for nation-wide coverage. This solicitation seeks pricing only for national coverage.
