Honolulu Vet Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs Readjustment Counseling Service is seeking to lease approximately 4,468 ABOA (5,027 RSF) of office space in Honolulu for use as a Veteran Center. The VA requires a 20-year lease term with termination rights after 10 years, and the property must be located within a specific geographic area bounded by H1, Kapahulu Avenue, Waialae Avenue, and Nimitz Highway. Key requirements include on-site parking for 20 vehicles with 3 ADA-compliant spaces, compliance with federal accessibility and security standards, and the property cannot be located in a 100-year flood plain or near incompatible uses such as liquor establishments or cannabis dispensaries. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 531120 with a small business size standard of $41.5 million, and interested parties are particularly encouraged if they qualify as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). Respondents must submit Capabilities Statements by 4:00 PM CST on August 27, 2024, to Ralph Crump via email, including company details, evidence of veteran-owned status, SAM.gov registration, project experience, and financial capability.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified contractors who meet the specified requirements. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The anticipated construction or buildout costs are estimated to range between $250,000 and $500,000, though specific lease value amounts are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The VA will make monthly rental payments in arrears upon facility acceptance, and the government has noted that no responsibility is assumed to award a lease based solely on responses to this sources sought advertisement. The 20-year lease term represents a significant long-term commitment, though the VA retains the right to terminate after the initial 10-year period.
