X1AA--Sanford CBOC Succeeding Lease

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration has published a Special Notice of Intent to Solicit a succeeding lease for the Sanford Comprehensive Outpatient Care Center (CBOC) located in Sanford, North Carolina. This announcement indicates that the VA intends to award a lease using other than full and open competition, meaning the agency may pursue a sole source agreement rather than conducting a competitive bidding process. The current lease expires on February 28, 2026, and the VA requires occupancy of the replacement space by March 1, 2026. The required space is exactly 11,285 rentable square feet of office space within a specific delineated area in Sanford. The VA's preferred approach is to renew the existing lease with the current lessor at 3112 Tramway Road, Sanford, NC 27330, though alternative properties will be considered if they present economic advantages.

The Special Notice invites expressions of interest from alternative landlords or property owners who can provide suitable office space within the designated geographic area, should they wish to present competing proposals before the VA proceeds with the sole source lease renewal. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest to Jackie Bray, Lease Contracting Officer, at Jackie.Bray@va.gov by the deadline of March 12, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The lease term will be five years, structured as a three-year firm fixed price period followed by two additional soft option years. All services, supplies, utilities, and tenant alterations must be included as part of the rental consideration, with no additional costs to the government. The VA will evaluate relocation costs, moving expenses, and tenant improvement requirements when determining whether alternative space offers sufficient economic advantage to justify moving the facility from its current location.
