U. S. Government Interest in Succeeding Lease

The United State Government (Corporation for National and Community Service) hereafter referred (The Government) currently occupies space located at 6736 Youngstown Ave, Baltimore, MD 21222-1025 that will be expiring.

The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Government's requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.

The Government's decision regarding whether to relocate will be based, in part, on information received in response to this advertisement. Submission by anyone other than the owner or manager of a property must be accompanied by a letter from the ownership granting permission to make a general offering of space. In instances where the Offeror is representing more than one property, the Offeror is hereby notified that they may only participate in negotiations on behalf of one owner.

This Sources Sought notice does not constitute a Request for Lease Proposals (RLP), or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This notice does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or services whatsoever. The Government is not, at this time, seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited costs incurred in response to this Sources Sought; all costs associated with responding to this Sources Sought will be solely at the interested contractor's/vendor's expense. Not responding to this Sources Sought does not preclude participation in any future RLP, if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this Sources Sought is strictly voluntary. All submissions become Government property and will NOT be returned.
