USDA seeking 2, 200 - 2, 370 ABOA SF, Office/Warehouse, in Winchester, VA

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), specifically the Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services, is seeking to lease approximately 2,200 to 2,370 square feet of office and warehouse space in Winchester, Virginia. The lease opportunity is designed to meet specific government requirements for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards, with a preference for a location bounded by State Road 37 and Interstate 81. Potential lessors must ensure the offered space is not located in a 1-percent-annual chance floodplain and must comply with telecommunications prohibitions outlined in Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act. Expressions of interest are due by January 30, 2025, with an estimated market survey planned for April 30, 2025, and a targeted occupancy date of May 1, 2026. The lease is structured for a 10-year term with a 1-year firm term, and interested parties should contact Dustin Bulen, the Realty Specialist, at Dustin.bulen@usda.gov.

The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation, indicating open competition for potential lessors. The contract will require 24 total parking spaces, all of which will be surface parking, and a fully serviced lease is not mandatory. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 531120 for Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings and the PSC category X1AA for Lease/Rental of Office Buildings. While no specific award value is disclosed, the lease requirements suggest a mid-range commercial property suitable for government use. Potential lessors should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with federal telecommunications regulations and provide a space that meets the USDA's comprehensive facility standards. The government contact for this opportunity is Lease Contracting Officer Karin Finke, with Dustin Bulen serving as the primary leasing specialist.
