About this opportunity

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service Region 6 is seeking to lease office space in Austin, Texas for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The lease opportunity requires approximately 11,700 rentable square feet of office space within a specific geographic boundary in Austin, with 53 surface parking spaces. Critical requirements include 24/7 access, Security Standard Level III, and strict location restrictions to ensure operational security, such as avoiding proximity to drug rehabilitation centers, schools, parks, and areas with potential drug activity. The government will evaluate potential locations based on security assessments, accessibility standards, fire safety compliance, and sustainability requirements. Expressions of interest are due by May 31, 2025, with an estimated occupancy date of September 1, 2025, and interested parties should submit their responses to Angela Robinson via email.

This pre-solicitation notice is not set aside for any specific small business category and represents a fully serviced lease opportunity. The contract will have a full term of 84 months, with a firm term of 36 months, and the government is actively seeking alternative space to replace an expiring lease in Austin. While specific award value is not disclosed, the government will consider relocation costs, including physical move expenses, tenant improvements, and potential agency downtime when evaluating proposals. The lease must meet specific technical requirements, including compliance with telecommunications prohibitions under the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act and avoiding locations within a 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. Potential lessors should carefully review all specifications, particularly the stringent security and location requirements specific to DEA's operational needs.
