About this opportunity
The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to lease office space in Effingham, Illinois, specifically in the western and northernmost part of the city bounded by I-57/I-70 on the west and north, County Road 1600 E on the east, and Jaycee Avenue on the south. The required space must be exactly 5,958 assignable square feet (ABOA) and must be a fully serviced lease with zero parking spaces required. The space must meet strict government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic compliance, and sustainability, and cannot be located within the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. All proposers must comply with Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act regarding telecommunications prohibitions. The GSA will evaluate alternative space based on economic advantages, considering not only rental costs but also relocation expenses including physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and potential agency downtime. Expressions of interest must be submitted by May 18, 2026, with an estimated market survey timeline to be determined and estimated occupancy on September 1, 2026.
This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside and applies to nonresidential building lessors under NAICS code 531120. The current tenant is an existing government entity whose lease in Effingham is expiring, and the GSA is evaluating this space requirement to determine whether relocating to alternative space would be economically advantageous compared to renewing or modifying the existing lease. The contract will be a ten-year lease with a five-year firm term and no option terms. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the pre-solicitation notice, as the GSA will make its determination based on competitive market analysis and total cost of occupancy comparisons. Interested landlords and property owners should direct their expressions of interest to Maria Kobe, GLS Transaction Manager at CBRE, Inc., the GSA's contractor managing this transaction.
