Succeeding Lease for Jacksonville CBOC

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 6, is seeking a succeeding lease for a Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The primary requirement is to provide a minimum of 15,000 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) of office space that will accommodate functional staff, waiting areas, corridors, restrooms, record functions, and staff support areas. The space must fully comply with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards as outlined in 4 CFR 101-19.6, Appendix A to ensure accessibility for all users. The VA has indicated that no formal solicitation will be issued for this action, as this is classified as an 8(a) Sole Source procurement. The due date for this opportunity is December 3, 2026, providing potential lessors with approximately one year from the posting date to prepare their proposals.

This pre-solicitation notice represents an 8(a) Sole Source set-aside, indicating that the VA intends to negotiate directly with a specific contractor rather than conduct a competitive bidding process. The VA is pursuing a lease term of up to 20 years for this facility, representing a long-term commitment to the Jacksonville area's veteran healthcare services. While specific budget information is not disclosed in this notice, the scope of the project—involving 15,000 RSF of commercial real estate in a healthcare context—suggests a substantial financial commitment over the multi-decade lease period. No incumbent contractor or current lessor information is provided in the pre-solicitation materials. Interested parties should note that this announcement is not a formal solicitation for offers or a request for proposals, but rather a notification of the VA's leasing intent and an opportunity to express interest in this potential lease arrangement.
