Flexible Co-working Space Extension

This Special Notice from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health announces intent to extend through a sole source contract the current commercial flexible co-working space agreement for a period not to exceed six months. The agency will exercise the option to extend the period of performance for four months from July through October 2023 utilizing FAR 52.217-8 to extend services. The notice also states the agency will only further extend the period of performance by an additional two months if efforts to secure new space are delayed.

The purpose of the Special Notice is to notify contractors of the agency's intent to non-competitively extend the current flexible co-working space contract through October 2023 using the option to extend services clause. No set-aside is used and the due date for any requests related to the sole source extension is June 16, 2023. Eligible contractors are those currently providing commercial flexible co-working space under the existing agreement. The extension would allow for continued provision of flexible office space as the agency works to secure new long-term accommodations.
