The action is an 8(a) Sole Source, and the Government intends to pursue a sole source acquisition if alternative space is not economically advantageous. The current lease expires April 30, 2027, and the Government will weigh moving costs and alterations in any relocation decision.

The Government requires a minimum of 1,628 rentable square feet (1,205 ABOA) and 1,376 adjacent parking spaces within the area bounded by 1st Street to the north, Culver Drive to the east, Bristol Street to the south, and Fairview Road to the west, in Santa Ana, CA 92705.

The attached Request for Lease Proposals, RLP 36C24W27R0007, sets a 10-year term with 5 years firm and Government termination rights after the firm term on 90 days' written notice. Pricing must be a fully serviced gross rate per ABOA and RSF, itemized by shell rental, tenant improvement rate, building-specific amortized capital, operating costs, and parking. The RLP file specifies award to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer.

Offerors must submit GSA Forms 1364 and 1217, evidence of ownership, zoning compliance, financing commitment, scaled CAD floor plans, seismic compliance certificates, environmental due diligence, and energy efficiency documentation. Space on or above the 6th floor requires a Form 12000 Part B evaluation by a fire protection engineer licensed in the building's state.
