About this opportunity
The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to lease office and related space in Washington, DC's Central Employment Area to accommodate government operations as current leases expire. The GSA is evaluating alternative space options to determine if relocation would be economically advantageous compared to extending existing leases, considering factors such as physical move costs, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure expenses, and potential agency downtime. The procurement encompasses three separate space requirements with varying square footage needs, all of which must meet stringent building standards including ISC Level II security capabilities, minimum 20' x 20' column spacing, proximity within 2,640 walkable linear feet of a MetroRail station, compliance with fire safety and accessibility codes, seismic resilience, sustainability standards, and full-service lease arrangements. All proposed locations must avoid 100-year floodplain areas and comply with Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act regarding telecommunications prohibitions. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on August 15, 2024, with responses due by April 13, 2026, allowing prospective offerors adequate time to identify suitable properties and prepare comprehensive proposals.
This procurement includes no set-aside designations and is open to all qualified commercial real estate providers. The three separate leasing requirements specify ranges of 15,050 to 21,110 assignable square feet (ABOA) with corresponding rentable square footage (RSF) up to 23,800 square feet, along with requirements for 4 to 8 structured parking spaces depending on the specific requirement. Lease terms vary across the three opportunities, with options including a 10-year full term with a 10-year firm term and one five-year option, another 10-year full term with one five-year option, and a 5-year firm term with no options. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, though the GSA's evaluation will incorporate total cost of occupancy analysis including relocation expenses and operational impacts. The solicitation is classified under NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and PSC X1AA (Lease/Rental of Office Buildings), indicating the procurement is managed through GSA's standard commercial lease acquisition processes.
