Expression of Interest (EOI) for HMIS Warehouse Consolidation Facility Lease Agreement

Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, LLC (HMIS), a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Energy, is seeking expressions of interest for a warehouse consolidation facility lease agreement to support operations at the Hanford Site. The primary objective is to consolidate HMIS's existing warehouse operations currently dispersed across the Hanford site and Richland, Washington into a single centralized facility in North Richland, Washington. Prospective offerors must be capable of providing a leased facility with approximately 250,000 square feet of contiguous warehouse space, 10,000 square feet of office space, and a minimum lot size of 10 acres, along with all maintenance and operational services for the lease term. The facility must include specific features such as six loading docks with airlocks, a 60-ton truck scale, fenced secured areas, and administrative support facilities, with preference given to properties with LEED Silver certification and ENERGY STAR appliances. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by January 16, 2026, and responses should include property details, site plans, capabilities statements, and vendor registration confirmation.

This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation and does not identify current incumbent contractors. The lease agreement will have an initial term of 10 years with two optional 5-year renewal periods, with beneficial occupancy targeted for October 1, 2028. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, the substantial facility requirements—including 250,000 square feet of warehouse space, 10,000 square feet of office space, and comprehensive maintenance and operational services—indicate a significant procurement. The expression of interest process serves as preliminary market research to assess project feasibility and identify capable vendors before the formal solicitation is issued. This opportunity falls under NAICS code 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and PSC code X1GZ (Lease/Rental of Other Warehouse Buildings).
