Presolicitation Notice/Advertisement for Leased Space in Eastport, ME

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service is seeking to lease commercial office space in Eastport, Maine through this pre-solicitation notice. The procurement involves securing exactly 9,011 assignable square feet (ABOA) of "Other" space type on a fully serviced basis, which must comply with stringent government requirements including fire safety, accessibility, seismic resilience, and sustainability standards. The offered space cannot be located in the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain and must include 26 surface parking spaces. Additionally, prospective lessors must ensure compliance with telecommunications prohibitions outlined in Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The GSA will evaluate alternative space options based on economic advantage, considering relocation costs such as physical move expenses, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure setup, and potential agency downtime. Expressions of Interest must be submitted to Lease Contracting Officer Jared Hebner at jared.hebner@gsa.gov by May 5, 2026 at 3:30 PM EDT, with an estimated occupancy date of March 13, 2027.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designations and involves no assigned broker. The GSA currently occupies space under an expiring lease in Eastport and is evaluating whether alternative space would provide better economic value. The full contract term is 10 years, and specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The government will weigh the costs of remaining in current space against the expense of relocating to alternative facilities, making the economic analysis of both relocation costs and operational continuity critical factors in the final decision. Interested parties should note that this is a pre-solicitation phase designed to gauge market availability and interest before formal solicitation documents are released.
