AFCEC-22-R-0004 Request for Lease Proposal (RFLP)

The Department of the Air Force (the “Government”) is issuing this Request for Lease Proposal (the “RFLP”) to solicit proposals to lease all or a portion of that certain real property located at Keesler AFB (the “Installation”), which is an active military installation located in Biloxi, Harrison County, Mississippi, comprised of approximately eighteen (18) acres of land (the “Property”) from the Government for the purposes of financing, permitting, developing, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining and operating improvements upon the Property for the Lessee’s private commercial (non-Federal government) use (collectively, the “Project”). The Government has been approached by State and local officials about the prospects of locating the proposed Mississippi Cyber Center at Keesler AFB, MS. The proposal involves the construction of a 100,000 SF facility to be located on Keesler AFB property, outside of the fence line, in the form of an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) subject to certain Air Force constraints. The objective this solicitation is to optimize the value of the Property (defined below) by securing cash and In-kind consideration for a ground lease to a public or private sector developer who will finance, permit, develop, construct, install, own, maintain and operate improvements upon the Property for the lessee’s own private commercial use. In addition, the EUL Site Development Lease (SDL) will require some percentage of cash rent to cover AFCEC/CIU’s anticipated administrative fees (not to exceed 20 percent).
