X1AA--Cincinnati VAMC Admin Lease

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is seeking to lease 10,000 ABOA square feet of administrative space and 100 parking spaces in Cincinnati, Ohio for its administrative operations. The lease opportunity is being managed by the VA Network Contracting Office in Indianapolis, with Kenneth Staiduhar serving as the primary point of contact. Potential vendors must submit a comprehensive capabilities statement by March 26, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, which should include property ownership details, site plans, zoning information, and evidence of business qualifications. The VA is specifically conducting market research to identify potential sources, with a preference for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) registered on www.vip.vetbiz.gov. Evaluation will likely focus on properties located within a defined geographic area bounded by OH Route 562, Red Bank Rd., US Route 50, and Interstate 75, with emphasis on first-floor preferential space, proximity to public transportation, and compliance with federal safety and accessibility standards.

The solicitation has no specific set-aside designation, though SDVOSB and VOSB firms are encouraged to participate. The lease opportunity is structured for up to 20 years, with an estimated market survey scheduled for April 2025 and potential occupancy in FY 2025-2026. The project's construction and buildout is estimated between $5-10 million, with the procurement falling under NAICS code 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and a small business size standard of $34 million. The VA seeks a fully serviced lease that meets its administrative requirements, targeting a property that can accommodate its operational needs efficiently. Interested vendors should carefully review the solicitation documents and prepare detailed submissions that demonstrate their capability to meet the VA's specific space and service requirements for this administrative facility.
