About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA, APHIS) issued a Floodplain Notice on June 24, 2026, announcing its intent to lease existing office, warehouse, and scientific support space in Cocoa, Florida, with a public comment deadline of fifteen days from publication.
The proposed leased location falls within a high flood risk zone susceptible to flooding at or above the 100-year flood level, triggering review requirements under Executive Order 11988, "Floodplain Management." USDA determined that no practical alternatives exist, as much of the area of consideration lies within high flood risk zones. The space supports Fruit Fly trapping, CHRP, and export certification of perishable commodities for Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) programs. The centrally located facility provides necessary access to major highways and roadways critical to the perishability-sensitive mission.
USDA invites public comment on possible alternatives to the proposed action. Interested persons may contact Grace Connolly, Realty Specialist, at grace.connolly@usda.gov or 612-336-3259 (8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. CST, Monday–Friday) for detailed information about the action and its specific location. Written comments should be submitted to grace.connolly@usda.gov within fifteen days of the notice.
