About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks offers for a 20-year office lease for the Ponce Vet Center relocation in Ponce, Puerto Rico, with proposals due November 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM CST. The Set Aside line designates the procurement as Total Small Business. The NAICS code is 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings, except Miniwarehouses) and the PSC is X1DB (Lease/Rental Of Laboratories And Clinics).
The Government seeks a minimum of 4,028 and a maximum of 5,438 ABOA square feet of contiguous space within an area of consideration bounded by Rd-14 (North), Rd-52 (South), Ave. Rafael Cordero Santiago (East), and Rd 9-Calle Baramaya (West). The lease term is 20 years with 5 years firm. Government termination rights, in whole or in parts, are available after the firm term on 180 days' prior written notice. Parking requires 30 surface spaces, reserved and secured, and zero structured or inside spaces.
The facility must meet fire protection and life safety requirements, seismic safety standards under ASCE/SEI 31 or 41, accessibility standards, and asbestos requirements permitting no ACM or undamaged nonfriable ACM only. The facility must hold ENERGY STAR certification within one year prior to the proposal due date, or qualify for statutory exceptions with cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. Submittals include GSA Form 1364, GSA Form 1217, Security Unit Price List, TI Unit Price List, scaled floorplans, ownership evidence, financial commitments, parking plans, and seismic and fire protection certifications. Davis-Bacon wage determination PR20260001 applies to construction for this project.
Pricing requires a fully serviced gross rate per ABOA and RSF, itemized as building shell rental, TI rate, BSAC rate, operating costs, and parking. The TI Allowance is $228 per ABOA square foot. Award is best value across four factors: Facility, Site, Past Performance, and Experience, with technical factors significantly more important than price. The Government will negotiate with competitive range offerors and evaluate present-value pricing discounted at 5 percent annually.
The October 28, 2026 Q&A for Solicitation 36C24426R0012 addresses whether an offeror may propose a master leasehold interest rather than owned property. The VA responds that acceptance depends on the solicitation's ownership, leasing, assignment, and subleasing terms, and that the solicitation and any amendments govern. Offers are submitted by email to Dominic.Mabine@va.gov and Scott.Wheeler3@va.gov.
