Salisbury Veterans Center RLP for Office Space

The Veterans Health Administration, under the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5, is soliciting proposals for office space to house a Veterans Center in Salisbury, Maryland. The Government seeks a maximum of 2,534 assignable square feet (ABOA SF), not to exceed 3,000 rentable square feet of contiguous space in a modern quality building with a permanent facade in stone, marble, brick, or similar material. Key requirements include provision of 15 surface/outside parking spaces plus 2 ADA-compliant spaces at no charge to the Government, proximity to amenities including restaurants, retail shops, cleaners, and banks accessible via continuous sidewalks, and location within a safely accessible 2,640-foot walk from public transit such as subway, light rail, or bus rapid transit. The space is precluded from locations within a walkable mile of gun stores, pawn shops, adult entertainment clubs, liquor stores, marijuana distributors, or methadone clinics, and unfavorable amenities include childcare facilities, schools, bars, and adjacent single-family housing. Offerors will be evaluated based on building location, space concept design, parking plan, technical capabilities, program management and response plan, emergency preparedness plans, past performance, and price, with technical factors weighted as significantly more important than past performance and price. All proposals must be submitted electronically via email with the subject line "Lease Proposal Salisbury 36C24526R0059" by April 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, and questions should be directed to tammy.buckwalter@va.gov.
