About this opportunity
The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to lease office and related space in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to accommodate federal operations including a Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC). The space requirement ranges from 40,934 to 42,162 assignable square feet (ABOA) within a defined delineated area bounded by W. Juneau Avenue, the Milwaukee River, E. Brady Street, Interstate 43, and Lake Michigan. Key contract requirements include proximity to public transportation (either a commuter rail, light rail, or subway station within a walkable mile, or two or more bus lines within a walkable mile), 27 publicly available parking spaces within a walkable mile of the location, and 28 reserved on-site parking spaces. The space must be primarily contiguous and above-ground, with efficient layout capabilities that exclude narrow column spacing, atriums, light wells, extremely long narrow runs, and irregular configurations. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 17, 2026, with a deadline of March 31, 2026, and potential offerors should be aware that test fit requirements may apply.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and will be evaluated based on the lessor's ability to meet the specified space and location requirements within the Milwaukee market. The contract will be structured as a fifteen-year full term with a firm five-year initial term and one five-year option term, indicating a substantial long-term lease commitment. No incumbent contractor information or specific award value is provided in this pre-solicitation notice. The 55 total parking spaces (27 public and 28 reserved) represent a significant requirement for the selected location, reflecting the high customer interfacing demands of the Taxpayer Assistance Center operation.
