Alaska - Kenai / Soldotna Vet Center - Outstation

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking to lease clinical space for a Vet Center Outstation in the Kenai/Soldotna, Alaska area. The government requires approximately 2,107 ABOA (American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association Office Area) square feet of contiguous clinical space, with a maximum of 2,987 rentable square feet, along with a minimum of 20 parking spaces. The facility must be fully accessible in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards, meet Interagency Security Committee Security Design Criteria for New Federal Office Buildings and Major Modernization Projects, and satisfy all current Federal, State, and local codes including fire and life safety, accessibility, OSHA, and seismic protection requirements. Responses must include detailed building information, rental rates expressed both per rentable square foot and per ABOA square foot, availability date, ownership details, parking space count, energy efficiency features, building services, and LEED certification status if applicable. The VA has established a submission deadline of February 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM PST, with interested offerors required to submit information by email to Realty Specialist Garry Alexander at garry.alexander@va.gov.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation, though the VA is specifically seeking responses from Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). The government is considering lease terms of up to twenty years with termination rights after five years, and rent will be paid in arrears with predetermined rental escalations preferred over formula-based increases such as the Consumer Price Index. The government is limited by law to pay no more than the appraised fair rental value for the leased space. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The VA assumes no responsibility to award a lease based on responses to this sources sought notice, meaning this is an exploratory phase to gauge market availability and interest rather than a binding procurement action.
