Request for Expression of Interest - Office Space for 70-84 H2C Personnel

Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure (H2C), a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is conducting market research to identify potential commercial office space providers in Richland, Washington. The Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) seeks to locate suitable office accommodations to support H2C personnel, with space requirements for approximately 70-84 employees. This pre-solicitation notice is designed to assess market availability and gauge potential vendor interest in leasing nonresidential building space. The opportunity falls under NAICS Category 531120 for Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings, indicating a specific focus on commercial real estate leasing. Interested parties are invited to respond to the EOI, with submissions due by May 13, 2025, providing an opportunity for commercial property owners to demonstrate their capabilities and available office spaces.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. While no specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed, the requirement for office space to accommodate 70-84 personnel suggests a potentially significant leasing opportunity. The current posting date of April 23, 2025, provides potential respondents approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their expressions of interest. The solicitation appears to be in the initial market research phase, with no incumbent contractor explicitly named in the documentation. The geographic specificity of Richland, Washington, and the focus on supporting H2C personnel's office space needs indicates a targeted and strategic procurement approach by the DOE contractor.
