Lessors of Nonresidential Office Space for Lease

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, is seeking to lease approximately 900 gross square feet (minimum 684 net square feet) of office space in Kirksville, Missouri for military recruiting operations. The Government currently occupies space under an expiring lease and is considering alternate locations if economically advantageous, taking into account relocation costs including physical moves, tenant improvements, telecommunications infrastructure replication, and agency downtime. Key contract requirements include 24-hour unrestricted access, communications infrastructure availability (DSL, T1, or satellite), a secondary exterior exit door, 24-hour lighted parking for two Government vehicles plus additional parking onsite or within four blocks, and compliance with comprehensive construction specifications covering HVAC systems, electrical distribution, security systems, accessibility requirements, and sustainability standards. Proposals will be evaluated based on price and technical factors considered approximately equal in importance, with technical evaluation encompassing location, neighborhood quality, building accessibility, visibility, floor plan efficiency, parking availability, building appearance, business compatibility, and high-speed internet availability. The proposal submission deadline is April 4, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. CDT, with submissions directed to Nya.G.King@usace.army.mil or the Kansas City District Real Estate Division.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations, and no current contractor incumbents are identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The lease will be structured as an operating lease under OMB Circular A-11 with a standard five-year term and Government termination rights with 90 days' notice, though no specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials. All lease services and utilities, including base rent, property taxes, insurance, HVAC maintenance, janitorial services, utilities, and parking, must be included in the lessor's proposal via the standardized Rental Proposal Worksheet. Lessors must provide evidence of property ownership or control, register or confirm registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), submit a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment if directed, and comply with federal restrictions on communications and security equipment sourced from prohibited countries or manufacturers per the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. The fully-serviced lease rate, construction costs, and potential lessor contributions toward build-out will factor into the Government's price evaluation and best-value determination.
