Solicitation 4TN0330-U.S. Government Seeks Office and Related Space in Nashville and Surrounding Areas

GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office seeks office space in Nashville, Tennessee and surrounding areas under Request for Lease Proposals 4TN0330, with proposals due December 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST through the Requirement Specific Acquisition Platform (RSAP). No set-aside is used, and award goes to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer from a responsible offeror, with present value price evaluation at a 5 percent discount rate.

The requirement is 85,848 to 101,301 ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area (ABOA) square feet of office space, with a 180-month full term, a 120-month firm term, and no option term. Parking is 10 reserved surface spaces and no structured parking. VBA requires a 30-foot setback or site fencing, a public-facing lobby or waiting area, a loading dock and/or freight elevator access, a backup generator, a server room or other room requiring 24/7 operation, and contiguous space on adjacent floors. Exhibit C specifies Facility Security Level III countermeasures, and Exhibit I sets RP 8 seismic forms (A through D pre-award, E and F post-award). GSA Form 12000 applies, with Part B requiring a licensed fire protection engineer for space on or above the 6th floor. Section 889 telecommunications prohibitions apply.

The source leaves two requirements as unresolved bracketed alternatives: whether a fully serviced lease "[is/is not]" required, and whether the offered space must avoid the "[1-percent-annual chance/0.2-percent-annual chance]" floodplain. Exhibit B contains restricted RLP information not posted on SAM.gov. Offerors must request it from the Lease Contracting Officer's designee, who authenticates business need to know before release.

Required submittals include GSA Forms 1364 and 1217, zoning compliance evidence, ownership documentation, conditional commitment of funds, Form 12000, Energy Star certification or equivalent efficiency improvements, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, seismic compliance documentation, an asbestos management plan (if applicable), ADA compliance verification, and a CAD floorplan. An executed Broker Commission Agreement must accompany the initial offer, and offerors must complete the GSAR 552.270-33 foreign ownership representation.

Pricing must be a fully serviced lease rate per ABOA and RSF that itemizes shell rent, tenant improvements, Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC), operating costs, and parking. The government file summary cites a TI rate of $54.83 per ABOA SF and a BSAC rate of $25.00 per ABOA SF. Savills Inc is the authorized broker for GSA at 4 percent of aggregate lease value for the firm term. The broker's commission credit functions as a rent deduction in price evaluation.

Lease Contracting Officer Heather Driskell (heather.driskell@gsa.gov) leads the procurement, with broker contacts Erik Weiss and Raquel Howard.
