X1AA--FY25 New/Replacement Lease: Ceiba CBOC 15, 308 ABOA SF of Medical Space in Ceiba, PR

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Orlando VA Healthcare System, Network Contracting Office 8, is seeking to lease medical office space in Ceiba, Puerto Rico through Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) # 36C248-25-R-0110. The VA requires between 15,250 to 15,308 contiguous ABOA square feet of medical office and related space, with a minimum of 87 parking spaces available. The space must be located within specific geographic boundaries: north of Fajardo Beach, east of Los Machos Beach, south of Bennington Road, and west of PR-3. Both new and existing buildings will be considered, though existing buildings must undergo complete modernization or adaptive reuse with modern conveniences by occupancy. The building cannot be part of a retail setting, strip mall, or share walls with other tenants, and must be ready for occupancy no later than September 1, 2026. Questions regarding this procurement must be submitted via email to Lease Contracting Officer Javier Correa-Ochoa, with a deadline of July 2, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified offerors. The document does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this space requirement. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the VA is considering lease terms of up to 15 years duration. The timeline for service delivery requires space readiness by September 1, 2026, providing approximately 14 months from the current solicitation date for preparation and modernization activities. The procurement falls under NAICS code 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and PSC code X1AA (Lease/Rental of Office Buildings), indicating this is specifically for commercial real estate leasing services. The relatively short response deadline of five days suggests the VA is moving quickly to identify potential lessors and initiate the formal solicitation process.
