US government seeks sources for leased retail and related space in baton rouge, LA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is seeking to lease approximately 1,640 gross square feet of Class A or B retail space in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, specifically within zip code 70815. The agency is evaluating alternative leasing options because its current retail and related space in a shopping center will be expiring. In making its determination, the Government will consider the availability of alternative space that meets its requirements and the costs associated with relocation, including physical move expenses, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime. The evaluation criteria emphasize building specifications in compliance with all federal, state, and local ordinances, force protection standards in accordance with Department of Defense Unified Facility Criteria, and designated or open parking availability. Expressions of interest must be submitted to Bryan Yarbrough at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by November 30, 2025, and should include the building name and address, floor plan drawing, digital street view photo, rental rates (base plus NNN), BOMA rentable and usable square footage, and applicable common area factors.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any current contractor or incumbent. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The Government intends to execute an initial five-year lease with space required to be ready for occupancy by September 30, 2026. Interested parties should contact Bryan Yarbrough at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 817-886-1214 or bryan.k.yarbrough@usace.army.mil for additional information or to submit their expressions of interest prior to the November 30, 2025 deadline.
