E1PC--Department of Veterans Affairs LAND Acquisitions for Expressions of Interest at or near Beaufort, SC or neighboring Counties

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management is seeking expressions of interest for land acquisition in or near Beaufort, South Carolina, to support the development of a new or expanded national cemetery. Interested parties must submit detailed expressions of interest by November 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to Nam Tran at the VA's Office of Construction and Facilities Management in Washington, DC. Prospective offerors must provide comprehensive documentation including site location details, zoning information, proof of ownership, legal descriptions, utility availability assessments, environmental evaluations, and flood zone information. The VA will evaluate submissions based on site specifications, compliance with key restrictions such as avoidance of 100-year floodplains and properties with restrictive covenants, and the ability to meet cemetery development requirements. The procurement is governed under NAICS code 237210 (Land Subdivision) and product service code E1PC (Purchase of Unimproved Real Property), with the response deadline marking the conclusion of the current pre-solicitation phase for market research and vendor interest gathering.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. The VA is seeking either a minimum of 15 acres within a three-mile radius of the existing Beaufort National Cemetery for an annex development or a minimum of 50 acres located within Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, or Dorchester Counties for a new cemetery facility. The acquisition will be conducted at fair market value as determined by a qualified appraiser, though no specific budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials. Properties selected will proceed through a site selection process that may include a formal site selection tour for qualifying submissions. The VA reserves the right to eliminate any submissions with incomplete documentation and will conduct further evaluation of sites meeting initial screening criteria before final acquisition decisions are made.
