About this opportunity
The General Services Administration (GSA) has released a Request for Information (RFI) seeking details about available laboratory space in suburban Maryland, specifically targeting Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. This Special Notice, posted on January 8, 2025, invites building owners and potential providers to submit information about their laboratory facilities. The RFI is designed to help the GSA verify market capabilities and assess the feasibility of their spatial requirements for a potential future lease. The notice applies to laboratory spaces that can accommodate specific governmental needs and is not a binding solicitation. The RFI is part of the GSA's preliminary market research process to explore potential leasing opportunities.
Contractors interested in responding must provide comprehensive details about their laboratory spaces, including current zoning, mechanical systems, power servicing capabilities, and building specifications. Key requirements include describing the type of laboratory space available, live load capabilities, ceiling heights, and potential power redundancy. Responses must be submitted by 3:00 PM EST on January 24, 2025, to CBRE, Inc., with specific contact information for Henry Chapman and Richard Downey. The GSA emphasizes that this RFI is strictly for informational purposes and does not guarantee a procurement contract. There are no specific set-aside requirements, and the anticipated lease term is fifteen years with an optional five-year renewal. Potential respondents should note that while participation is voluntary, the information provided will be crucial in the GSA's decision-making process for future laboratory space leasing.
