General Services Administration Office Space Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 6 is soliciting lease proposals for office space in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to support a Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection Field Operations facility. The solicitation seeks 3,296 to 3,790 rentable square feet of office space with specific security features, accessibility compliance, fire safety standards, and sustainability requirements. Key contract requirements include implementation of comprehensive facility security measures consistent with Facility Security Level II standards, which encompass physical access control systems, video surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and stringent cybersecurity protocols for building and access control systems. The government will evaluate proposals based on price using a present value price evaluation methodology, awarding the lease to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer with potential preference for HUBZone small businesses. Proposals are due by January 28, 2026, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management prior to award and must comply with Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act regarding covered telecommunications equipment and services.

The solicitation includes no set-aside designation, and no current incumbent contractor is identified. The government has allocated a $2 million budget for this project with a lease term of 180 days and a 90-day termination right, though the Needs Assessment indicates plans for a 17-year lease term with 15 years firm. The facility must accommodate growth from 8 to 11 staff members and include specialized spaces such as a hold room, weapons storage, agriculture lab, secure storage, and server room, along with standard office areas and 13 reserved parking spaces at a ratio of one space per 400 rentable square feet. A Building Specific Amortized Capital amount of $12.00 per assignable building occupancy area square foot has been established for security-related improvements. The space must be located in an office, research, technology, or business park outside the city center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and must comply with comprehensive fire protection, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards as detailed in the government's evaluation documents.
