1. DISCLAIMER
This is a Request for Information (RFI) / Sources Sought notice only. This notice is issued solely for market research, information, and planning purposes; it does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ) or a promise to issue an RFQ in the future. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice.

2. PURPOSE

The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing leased, off-base commercial office space in a 10-mile radius of Hanscom AFB, MA, 01731

3. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
To be considered, the proposed space must meet the following minimum parameters:

• Space Type: 

  • Classification Feasibility: Explicitly state what classification levels the space can support today (e.g., Unclassified, Secret/Collateral, TS/SCI, JWICS) and what upgrades would be required to meet higher levels. If no current classification levels exist, is there an ability to add them? Would upgrades remain in place once contract ends?

  • The Government is assessing the full spectrum of security capabilities available in the local market. Please feel free to respond with what you currently have to offer, even if your facility does not meet all preferred security thresholds.

  •  For example, if you possess functional Unclassified administrative space and Secret-level secure space, but lack active JWICS (Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System) capabilities, we still strongly encourage you to submit a response. The Government is highly interested in reviewing partial, mixed, or upgradeable space configurations to determine how they might support our broader mission requirements.

• Space Outfitting & Furnishing Status: To assist the Government in assessing transition timelines and potential cost savings, please address the following regarding the proposed space:

  • Existing Inventory: Indicate whether the proposed space is currently unfurnished or contains existing, usable furniture (e.g., modular cubicles, desks, conference tables) that can be utilized to reduce lead times.

  • Installation Capabilities: Specify if the management company offers turnkey installation services for government-furnished or custom-designed cubicles, including any associated fee structures.

• Capacity: Must accommodate between eighty (80) and one hundred (100) personnel.

• Square Footage (ABOA): A minimum of 11,200 square feet up to a maximum of approximately 21,000 square feet of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/ Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Office Area (ABOA). Offers falling within this range that optimize spatial efficiency and allow for potential growth up to the maximum personnel count are highly encouraged
• Conference and Collaborative Space:
  • Primary Requirement: At least one (1) dedicated conference or collaborative room capable of comfortably seating a minimum of twenty-five (25) personnel. The minimum size for this primary meeting space is 500 square feet.
  • Preferred Option: The availability of secondary conference rooms, huddle spaces, or break-out areas within the offered space is highly desirable to support flexible mission workflows and concurrent meetings.

• Connectivity: Space must be capable of supporting standard commercial internet/ WiFi service installation.

• Parking: How many parking spaces are available?

  • Covered garage parking is a “nice to have"

• Location: Must be located within a 10-mile radius of Hanscom AFB
