Sources Sought Notice: Tallahassee, Florida Vet Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, is seeking to lease office space for a Vet Center in Tallahassee, Florida through this Sources Sought Notice. The space must contain 2,757 NUSF/3,308 ABOA/3,722 RSF with 15 parking spaces, including ADA-compliant parking, and must be located within specific geographic boundaries defined by Governors Square Boulevard, East Orange Avenue, Interstate 319, and West Indianhead Drive. Interested property owners, brokers, or legal representatives must submit detailed information including photographs, facility layout, location details, and approximate price-per-square-foot pricing by December 5, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST to Erin Carey, Lease Contract Specialist, at erin.carey@va.gov. The VA emphasizes that this is a market research effort to identify available properties and evaluate economic feasibility, and responses will be assessed based on location, condition, pricing, and potential relocation costs. The government will consider alternative spaces if they offer economic advantages when factoring in relocation expenses, tenant improvement costs, and infrastructure modifications, but is legally restricted to paying no more than the appraised fair market rental value.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and represents a replacement lease for the current Vet Center space, which expires February 28, 2027. The proposed lease term is 20 years, structured as 5 years firm with 15 years of soft renewal options, providing long-term occupancy stability. No incumbent contractor information is identified in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase rather than a formal competitive solicitation. Specific budget or award value information is not disclosed at this stage; pricing will be based on fair market rental value as determined by appraisal. Property owners and representatives interested in leasing space to the VA should prepare comprehensive submissions addressing all required information elements by the December 5, 2025 deadline.
