Short Term Office Rental for Southern MS

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service seeks short-term office rental space in D'Iberville or Biloxi, Mississippi, with quotations due August 25, 2026. This is an unrestricted acquisition, not set-aside for small business.

Place of performance is D'Iberville or Biloxi (excluding Biloxi peninsula wards 1, 2, 3, 5, and portions of ward 4 south of Popps Ferry Bridge). The government requires a minimum 1,600 square feet of move-in-ready office space to accommodate eight federal employees, with at least three private offices, a conference room seating 15, ADA compliance, sole access and control to USDA Rural Development, secured exterior doors, and parking for five visitor and three government vehicles. The rental must be full-service and all-inclusive, covering electricity, water, gas, sewer, trash removal, pest control, janitorial services twice weekly (Mondays and Wednesdays), grounds and parking lot maintenance, property insurance, real estate taxes, and common area maintenance in the monthly rate.

The contract is firm-fixed price, one-year base period (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) plus two one-year option periods, for a total duration not exceeding three years. All offerors must submit pricing for the base period and both option periods to be considered responsive. Contractor employees with routine facility access must complete FBI fingerprint checks and obtain Tier 1 background investigations.

Evaluation uses five factors: office location centrality and accessibility, office layout suitability, other desired characteristics beyond minimum requirements, past performance (rated Acceptable, Neutral, or Unacceptable), and price. Award will be made based on best value using comparative evaluation methodology. Quotations must include company information, SAM.gov Unique Entity Identification Number, office address, blueprints with square footage and dimensions, interior and exterior photographs, amenities list, and three commercial tenant references from the past three years. Technical volumes are limited to five pages; pricing and attachments have no page limits. Questions are due August 13, 2026. The NAICS code is 531120; the PSC code is X1AA. Service Contract Act wage rates apply to janitorial and maintenance personnel. Amendment 3 posted August 25 includes updated vendor questions and answers.
