About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service Region 5 is conducting market research to secure office space in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The agency seeks a property with 90,000-105,000 usable square feet (converting to 100,500-120,750 rentable square feet) within a specifically delineated area bounded by West Wacker Drive, LaSalle Street, South Michigan Avenue, and Lake Front Drive. Critical requirements include a minimum ten-year lease term, with occupancy required by November 25, 2027, and specific infrastructure needs such as a 1,300 sq. ft. loading dock and a print shop area capable of supporting heavy print machines. The government will evaluate potential spaces based on economic advantages, considering factors like relocation costs, tenant improvements, telecommunications infrastructure, and overall agency operational efficiency. Interested property owners must submit expressions of interest to Mandy Kruse at Amanad.kruse@gsa.gov by June 18, 2025, at 4:00 pm Central Time.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, making it open to all qualifying commercial property owners. The targeted property must have advanced technological capabilities, including the ability to connect circuits to EIS telecom vendors and possess a Point of Presence (POP) and Demarc/Demark room for network routing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the substantial square footage requirement suggests a significant lease commitment. The government will use the received expressions of interest to develop a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis and determine the most appropriate procurement strategy. The detailed requirements, including specialized floor load capacities for the print shop and specific geographic constraints, indicate a precise and carefully considered approach to securing office space that meets the agency's unique operational needs.
