X1DB--Baltimore, MD. Outpatient Clinic 135, 148 ANSI/BOMA

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management seeks a lease of 114,876 to 135,148 square feet of contiguous space in Baltimore, Maryland for a new Outpatient Clinic, with proposals due July 6, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. Amendment 3, issued June 3, 2026, resets the deadline and introduces material changes to shell components, utilities, parking, and operating cost documentation.

Place of performance is Baltimore, Maryland. The procurement carries no set-aside. NAICS code 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings); PSC X1DB (Lease/Rental of Laboratories and Clinics). The VA anticipates serving 1,000 patients per day with 271 full-time employees and requires 800 on-site parking spaces, though Amendment 3 caps reserved Government parking at no more than 600 structured or surface spaces, with costs included in rental.

The lease is fully serviced, net of utilities and janitorial services. The VA offers two term alternatives: 15-year firm or 20-year firm, with award anticipated Fall 2026. Tenant Improvement allowance is $40,480,800, amortized into monthly rent. Brokerage commission is 0.96%.

Distinctive requirements include Facility Security Level II compliance; medical gas and electrical systems meeting VA specifications; three loading dock bays with one scissor lift; telecommunications infrastructure per VA standards; ASHRAE 62.1 compliance for HVAC; and design adherence to the April 2026 Lease Design Narrative (Appendix A.2), which mandates 42-inch minimum patient door widths, bariatric 750-pound capacity design loads, radiation and RF shielding for imaging, pressurization monitoring for sensitive spaces, and 6-foot patient-use corridor minimums. All public utilities must be available and operable at final inspection. Systems commissioning is required to verify energy-consuming systems meet project specifications.

Evaluation weighs technical factors (location, technical quality, delivery schedule, offeror qualifications and past performance, operations and maintenance plan) against socio-economic status in a best-value trade-off. Prevailing wage rates apply per Department of Labor determinations (current minimum $17.75/hour effective 06/27/2025). Offerors must register in SAM, comply with FAR 52.204-24 (telecommunications and video surveillance representation), and submit financial capacity documentation, environmental assessments (Phase I ESA, cultural resources study), zoning compliance letters, and detailed operating cost worksheets on GSA Form 1217 with supporting narratives. All submissions require acknowledgment of Amendments 1, 2, and 3 with initials on each page.
