About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is seeking a succeeding lease for the Silver Spring Vet Center located at 2900 Linden Lane in Silver Spring, Maryland. The VA intends to award a sole source lease under GSAM 570.402, though they will consider alternative spaces if economically advantageous. The agency requires approximately 2,896 net usable square feet of medical space within a specific delineated area bounded by MD-193, MD-586, I-495, MD-97, and MD-185. Interested parties must submit written statements of capability demonstrating their ability to meet the VA's requirements by January 29, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST via email to melissa.chanduviholmes@va.gov. The VA will evaluate potential alternate spaces by considering comprehensive relocation costs, including physical move expenses, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure, and potential agency downtime.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this lease opportunity. The proposed lease term extends up to 15 years, with an initial firm term of 5 years, and requires space availability by May 1, 2026. No tenant improvements will be performed under the lease award, which suggests the VA seeks a move-in ready facility. The current lease expires on April 30, 2026, and the VA emphasizes the critical need to maintain operational continuity for the Silver Spring Vet Center. The solicitation is structured as a sources sought notice, meaning the VA is preliminarily gauging market interest and capability before potentially issuing a formal solicitation. Potential lessors should note that submitting a response does not guarantee lease award, and the VA assumes no obligation to proceed with a contract based on affirmative responses.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA) ADVERTISEMENT FOR SUCCEEDING LEASE ACTION
The Department of Veterans Affairs (Government) intends to award a succeeding lease to Silver Spring Vet Center, under the authority of General Services Acquisition Manual (GSAM) Part 570.402. This regulation authorizes use of the sole source lease awards where it is determined that award to any other location would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition.
THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR LEASE PROPOSALS- However, any party who believes it can provide a facility that would satisfy the above requirements, is invited to submit a written statement of capability to do so, with evidence to support its claim. Responses received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this advertisement. This advertisement does not obligate the Government to award to any lease contract.
The Department of Veterans Affairs currently occupies clinical and related space at 2900 Linden Lane Suite 100 Silver Spring MD 20910 in a lease that expires April 30, 2026 To satisfy the VA mission requirements, the current Silver Spring Vet Center must remain operational.
Term: Estimated term is up to 15-years; up to 5-years firm term, 15-years soft term.
Tenant Improvements: No tenant improvements will be performed under the succeeding lease award.
Space Availability: The space must be available for occupancy by May 1, 2026
Rentable Square Feet: Approximately 2,896 Net Usable Square Feet (NUSF) / 3,454 ABOA / 3,909 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) of Medical Space.
Location: To be considered, space must be within the following delineated area:
North- MD-193 & MD-586,
South- I-495
East- MD-97
West- MD-185
The Government will consider alternative space if it is economically advantageous, and that otherwise the Government intends to pursue a sole source acquisition. In making this determination, VA will consider, among other things, the availability of alternate space that potentially can satisfy the Government's requirements as well as all costs likely to be incurred through relocating such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime. VA will consider leased space located in another existing building providing all costs mentioned above can be offset by competition.
Affirmative responses to this advertisement: Interested parties are invited to submit the above notice and evidence via email to melissa.chanduviholmes@va.gov no later than January 29, 2025 by 12:00 pm EST. Telephone responses shall not be accepted.
RESPONDENTS ARE ADVISED THAT THE VA ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO AWARD A LEASE BASED UPON ANY AFFIRMATIVE RESPONSE TO THIS ADVERTISEMENT.
