Lassen Supervisor Office

The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking to lease office space in Susanville, California, for the Lassen Supervisor Office. The procurement involves acquiring 14,669-16,869 rentable square feet of fully serviced office space with a total of 103 parking spaces, including 83 surface and 20 reserved parking spots. The lease requirements mandate that the property meet specific government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic resilience, and sustainability, with the additional constraint that the property cannot be located in a 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. Interested lessors must submit offers to Febbyyanthy Woods, the Realty Specialist, by January 31, 2025, with a market survey estimated for March 1, 2025. Offerors are required to provide comprehensive details about the building, including rental rates, tenant improvements, availability date, ownership information, parking costs, energy efficiency features, and building services.

The procurement is not designated with any specific set-aside, and the contract is structured for a 20-year full term with a 10-year firm term, targeting occupancy by May 1, 2027. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract falls under the NAICS Category 531120 for Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings and PSC Category X1AA for Lease/Rental of Office Buildings. Potential lessors must also comply with telecommunications prohibitions under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act. The lease will be administered by Kathy Cooke serving as the Lease Contracting Officer, and the procurement process appears designed to secure a long-term, high-quality office space solution for the Forest Service's Lassen Supervisor Office operations in Susanville.
