About this opportunity
The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to lease approximately 38,591 square feet of contiguous office space in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, within a delineated area bounded by Race Street (north), Walnut Street (south), 5th Street (east), and 19th Street (west). The space must be located on the 3rd floor or above, occupy no more than two floors, and cannot be in the same building as any foreign government entity including consulates. Interested parties must submit expressions of interest by June 24, 2025, including building name, address, available space details, square footage measurements, and contact information for authorized representatives. All submissions require proof of ownership or written authorization to represent property owners, and the space must meet government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic requirements, and sustainability while being outside flood-prone areas. The GSA is currently evaluating whether relocating from their existing Philadelphia office space would be economically advantageous, considering relocation costs including physical moves, tenant improvements, telecommunications infrastructure, and agency downtime.
This procurement opportunity has no set-aside designation and will operate under a 10-year firm term lease with one structured parking space and one reserved parking space included. The government currently occupies office space in Philadelphia under an existing lease arrangement, making this a potential relocation rather than an expansion of operations. The estimated occupancy date is September 1, 2025, providing approximately three months from the expression of interest deadline to move-in. The lease requires full service provisions and must comply with telecommunications prohibitions under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the government will evaluate alternatives based on economic advantage compared to their current lease arrangement, factoring in all associated relocation and infrastructure costs.
