HOW TO OFFER  
The Automated Advanced Acquisition Program (AAAP), located at https://leasing.gsa.gov/, will enable  interested parties to offer space for lease to the Federal Government in response to the FY25 AAAP RLP.  In addition, the Government will use its AAAP to satisfy the above space requirement.  
Offerors must go to the AAAP website, select the “Register to Offer Space” link and follow the instructions  to register. Instructional guides and video tutorials are offered on the AAAP homepage and in the “HELP”  tab on the AAAP website. Once registered, interested parties may enter offers during any “Open Period”.  For technical assistance with AAAP, email leasing@gsa.gov.  
The Open Period is the 1st through the 7th of each month, ending at 7:30 p.m. (ET) unless otherwise  stated by the Government and unless the 7th falls on a weekend or Federal Holiday. If the 7th falls on a  weekend or Federal Holiday, the Open Period will end at 7:30 PM (ET) on the next business day. Refer to  AAAP RLP paragraph 3.02 for more details on the offer submission process. The Government reserves  the right to allow for multiple Open Periods prior to selecting an offer for award to meet this specific space  requirement.
