Souces Sought-New Bedford MA

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 1 is conducting market research to identify potential office space for lease in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The government seeks 12,088-16,000 square feet of above-ground office space with 10 structured parking spaces for a 10-year lease term with a 5-year firm commitment. Key requirements include a prime commercial office location with modern design, ample public parking within a half-mile radius, proximity to public transportation, 24/7 government access capability, efficient office layout, and full compliance with security, fire safety, and accessibility standards. Potential space providers must submit comprehensive information including building specifications, transit accessibility, rental rates, availability dates, ownership details, energy efficiency features, and building services. The response deadline is July 14, 2025, and the GSA emphasizes this is strictly a market research effort, not an invitation to bid.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified lessors of real estate property under NAICS code 531190. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. The solicitation does not specify budget ranges or award values, as this represents preliminary market research rather than a formal procurement action. The space requirement spans a specific range of 12,088-16,000 square feet, accompanied by exactly 10 structured parking spaces, with the lease structure designed around a decade-long commitment that includes a firm 5-year initial term. The timeline for implementation depends on space availability as reported by responding property owners, though no specific occupancy target date is established in the sources sought notice.
