About this opportunity
The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to lease office space in the Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpinteria, California area through this pre-solicitation notice. The GSA requires between 9,766 and 10,000 rentable square feet of fully serviced office space that must comply with Facility Security Level III measures, fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards. The space must include a minimum of two elevators, 10-foot drop ceiling height, secure or discreet parking with three reserved spaces, and cannot be located in the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. Prospective lessors should submit expressions of interest by January 26, 2026, with a market survey estimated for completion by February 9, 2026. The GSA will evaluate submissions based on the comprehensive requirements outlined in the notice, including security capabilities, parking accessibility, and compliance with applicable federal regulations such as Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act regarding telecommunications prohibitions.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is available to all qualified private sector lessors. The lease structure includes a firm term of four years with a full contract term of five years and no option periods, with estimated occupancy targeted between May 2026 and February 2027. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, though the lease terms and space specifications indicate a significant commercial real estate commitment. The notice does not reference any incumbent contractors or current lease holders, suggesting this may represent either new space procurement or a competitive re-lease situation. Interested parties should familiarize themselves with all specified requirements and federal acquisition regulations before submitting their expressions of interest within the prescribed deadline.
