US government seeks sources for leased retail and related space

The US Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District is seeking sources for leased retail and related space to replace their current office location in Irving, Texas, where their existing lease is expiring. The government requires between 4,500 and 5,400 gross square feet of existing Class A or B retail space in or around the 75062 zip code area of Irving, Texas. The space must comply with all federal, state and local ordinances, meet Department of Defense Unified Facility Criteria for force protection standards, and include designated or open parking. The ideal location must not be in the 100-year flood plain and must be ready for occupancy by November 15, 2025. Expressions of interest must include building name and address, floor plan drawings, digital street view photos, BOMA rentable and usable square footage, rental rates per square foot, and common area factors. Interested parties must contact Anna Cleveland at the US Army Corps of Engineers by August 31, 2025, with the overall due date for responses being September 1, 2025.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the notice. While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed, the government indicates they will consider economic advantages and costs associated with relocation, including physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements, telecommunication infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime. The procurement seeks an initial fully serviced five-year lease term for the required space. The relatively tight timeline requires space to be ready for occupancy within approximately four months of the response deadline, suggesting urgency in the government's relocation requirements.
