1. Space Condition: The Government is seeking second-generation office space with an existing office build-out and building systems in place to support the accelerated occupancy requirement and minimize post-award construction duration and schedule risk.

The anticipated tenant improvement scope is expected to consist primarily of interior improvements, including:

• Reconfiguration of non-structural partitions
• Finishes
• Limited mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) adjustments and device relocations
• Associated fire/life safety modifications, as necessary

The Government recognizes some construction may be necessary; however, offerors must demonstrate through their proposed post-award schedule and supporting narrative a credible ability to achieve occupancy by January 1, 2027.

1. Post Award Schedule: The Government requires the offered space to be ready for Government occupancy no later than January 1, 2027. An offeror’s ability to meet this occupancy requirement is material to this procurement.

As part of the technical acceptability evaluation, offerors shall submit the items identified below demonstrating a credible and reasonably achievable approach for meeting the required occupancy date.

A. Schedule Feasibility Narrative

Offerors shall provide a narrative describing the proposed approach, assumptions, sequencing, and resourcing necessary to achieve the required January 1, 2027 occupancy date.

At a minimum, the narrative shall address, as applicable:

• Permitting and approvals strategy
• A/E coordination
• Procurement approach for construction services and long-lead items
• Construction sequencing
• QA/QC and internal review processes
• Anticipated schedule risks
• Proposed mitigation strategies

The narrative shall also identify any anticipated scope elements beyond limited interior reconfiguration, finishes, and minor MEP/device modifications that could materially impact the project schedule or critical path.

B. Post-Award Schedule Submission

Offerors shall complete and submit the attached “AAAP Project Specific Advertisement (PSA) Attachment: Post-Award Schedule” identifying the proposed schedule for achieving the required occupancy date.

C. Technical Acceptability Standard

To be found Technically Acceptable, the offeror must submit the required schedule and supporting documentation demonstrating a credible and reasonably achievable approach for meeting the required January 1, 2027 occupancy date.

Failure to provide the required information, submission of materially incomplete information, or submission demonstrating material schedule risk or inability to meet the required occupancy timeframe may result in a finding of Technically Unacceptable.

As this is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement, award will be made to the Technically Acceptable offeror submitting the lowest evaluated price.
