Lessors of Nonresidential Office Space for Lease

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, is seeking to lease approximately 4,500 gross square feet of nonresidential office space in Kansas City, Missouri, for use as a military recruiting facility. The government's current lease in Kansas City will expire, and this solicitation seeks proposals for alternate space if economically advantageous compared to renewal of the existing lease. Key contract requirements include a fully serviced, turnkey lease arrangement with the lessor responsible for all operating costs, utilities, janitorial services, real estate taxes, insurance, and alterations to meet detailed construction and security specifications. The government will evaluate proposals using technical factors approximately equal in importance to price, with technical evaluation criteria including location within a specified geographic area, neighborhood quality, ease of access, visibility and signage potential, parking availability, building appearance, floor plan efficiency, and high-speed internet availability. Price evaluation will consider the fully serviced lease rate and construction costs. Proposals are due by March 10, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. CDT, and interested parties should contact Katie Long at kathryn.c.long@usace.army.mil or 816-389-2409 for additional information.

This is a non-set-aside procurement with no incumbent contractor identified. The lease will be for an initial five-year term with government termination rights upon 60 days' notice and no cancellation right for the lessor. The space must provide a minimum of 4,000 net square feet within a delineated area bounded by 152 Highway, 45 Highway/NW 68th, 169 Highway, and NW Hampton Road, along with parking for 50 government vehicles and 24-hour unrestricted access. Offerors must submit ownership documentation or evidence of control, provide proof of accessibility and fire protection compliance per applicable standards, and complete a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment if directed.
