About this opportunity

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service Region 6 is seeking to lease office and warehouse space in Houston, Texas through this pre-solicitation notice. The government requires between 35,081 and 36,000 square feet of space (with conflicting documentation showing 30,505-31,000 rentable square feet) within a specifically delineated area bounded by Kempwood Drive, West 34th Street, North Shepherd Drive, San Felipe Street/River Oaks, and South Voss Road. The space must meet stringent government requirements including fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards, cannot be located in a 0.2-percent-annual chance floodplain, and must provide a fully serviced lease arrangement. Critical facility requirements include ground floor access, separate employee and public entrances, adequate standoff distance from the building facade, and compliance with location restrictions regarding proximity to hazardous materials facilities and other sensitive locations. The government will evaluate alternatives based on economic advantages, considering factors such as availability of suitable space, relocation costs, tenant improvement replication, and agency downtime. Expressions of interest are due by July 8, 2025, and interested parties should contact Leasing Specialist Me'Chaela Buford at Mechaela.Buford@gsa.gov.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified lessors of nonresidential buildings. The government currently occupies space under an expiring lease in Houston and is evaluating alternative locations that could provide economic advantages over renewal or extension of the current arrangement. The lease structure calls for a 15-year full term with a 10-year firm term, requiring 12 surface parking spaces with all spaces designated as reserved. The facility specifications include approximately 1,800 square feet of open office area and 29,200 square feet of warehouse/storage space, indicating this is likely for a specialized government operation requiring significant storage capacity. The estimated occupancy date is November 10, 2026, providing a timeline of approximately 16 months from the expression of interest deadline to move-in. No specific budget range or award values have been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, as the government is currently conducting market research to determine available options and associated costs.
