US government seeks sources for leased retail and related space

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is seeking to lease approximately 500 to 600 gross/rentable square feet of existing Class A or B retail space in the Beaumont, Texas area. The procurement requires that the space comply with all federal, state, and local ordinances and meet Department of Defense Unified Facility Criteria for force protection standards. Prospective lessors must provide expressions of interest that include the building name and address, as-built floor plan drawing, digital street view photograph, rentable and usable square footage measurements, rental rate per rentable square foot, and common area factors if applicable. The government will evaluate submissions based on the completeness of the information provided and the property's ability to meet the specified facility criteria and security requirements. The deadline for interested parties to submit expressions of interest to Mark Hansen at the US Army Corps of Engineers is December 31, 2025, with contact available via mail or email at mark.hansen@usace.army.mil.

This pre-solicitation notice contains no set-aside designations and identifies no incumbent contractors or current lease arrangements. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed at this stage, as this is an information-gathering phase rather than a formal solicitation for offers. The intended lease term is an initial five-year period, indicating a medium-term commitment for the government's retail space needs in Beaumont. The property must be outfitted with either designated or open parking to meet operational requirements. Prospective landlords should note that this pre-solicitation notice is strictly a request for information to identify potential sources; submission of an expression of interest does not constitute a binding offer or guarantee of contract award.
