To be considered, the office location must be within the boundaries of: 14th Street to the North; Avenue C/County Road 389 to the East; County Road 376 to the South; and County Road 475/Avenue L/Avenue P to the West; in Anson, Texas.

The Government will consider alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Governments requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
