About this opportunity

The USDA Forest Service is seeking to lease office space in Springerville, Arizona, with a requirement for 16,500-19,999 rentable square feet of office space and approximately 4,000 square feet of warehouse space. The agency aims to replace its current expiring lease and is open to alternative spaces that meet specific government requirements. The proposed location must be within a delineated area bounded by N Main Street, E Main St/Highway 180, Highway 191, and Highway 260, and must include 125 surface parking spaces. Interested parties must submit detailed Expressions of Interest by January 27, 2025, which should include building plans, square footage, availability date, parking information, and confirmations of compliance with various government standards including fire safety, accessibility, seismic standards, and sustainability requirements. The government will evaluate potential spaces based on economic advantageousness, considering factors such as relocation costs, tenant improvements, and potential agency downtime.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific group, making it open to all qualifying lessors. The proposed lease term is 20 years with a 10-year firm term and no option periods, with estimated occupancy targeted for July 20, 2026. Potential offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must provide comprehensive documentation about their proposed space, including building condition, site plans, interior layouts, and proof of ownership or authorization to represent the property. The space must not be located in a 1-percent-annual chance floodplain and must meet specific telecommunications and federal acquisition regulations. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the government will conduct a market survey estimated for February 24, 2025, to assess potential spaces. The primary government contacts for this procurement are Kathy Cooke (Lease Contracting Officer) and Max Heredia (Realty Specialist).
