The procurement requires exactly 23,191 square feet of contiguous office space within a defined area bounded by W. Parmer Lane, I-35/Purple Heart Trail, Mopac Boulevard, and W. Koenig Lane. The space must be located in a prime commercial district with professional surroundings, include ground floor access for public services, provide separate public and employee entrances, and accommodate high-volume operations including naturalization ceremonies and applicant interviews. Key requirements include LEED ID+C certification at the lessor's expense, Federal Security Level 2 compliance, 24/7 HVAC for sensitive areas, freight elevator access, and proximity to public transportation and amenities. Expressions of interest are due August 25, 2025, with an estimated market survey date of September 25, 2025, and projected occupancy by August 30, 2026.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified lessors of nonresidential buildings. No incumbent contractor or current lease holder is identified in the solicitation. While specific rental rates or total contract values are not disclosed, interested parties must provide their expected rental rate per ABOA square foot for fully serviced space and indicate whether tenant improvement costs are included. The lease structure includes a 15-year full term with a 10-year firm commitment, and the facility must support substantial daily operations including approximately 215 applicants per day, six weekly naturalization ceremonies, and weekend services as needed. The space requires specialized features including a minimum 150 PSF floor load capacity, 20' x 20' minimum column spacing, and must accommodate both high-security government operations and significant public access requirements.
