The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management is soliciting revised proposals for a lease of an outpatient clinic in Conroe, Texas under Request for Lease Proposals 36C10F25R0048, with final proposal revisions due November 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," and the pre-bid materials describe a full and open competition using best-value trade-off source selection.

The contracting office is the VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management, with Lease Contracting Officer Cynthia White, and the space serves the VA Conroe Health Care Center, a clinic within the Michael E. Debakey VA Medical Center's VISN 16 network. Place of performance is Conroe, Texas. The NAICS code is 531120, Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses), and the PSC is X1DB. Offered space is 195,131 to 229,566 ABOA square feet, with a maximum of 258,262 RSF. The lease term is up to 20 years, with the VA preferring a 20-year firm term, and substantial completion is anticipated within 37 months from award.

Amendment 3 converts operating costs from full-service to net of utilities, so offerors price rent exclusive of electric, gas, and water, which the Government pays directly. Offerors must submit a registered professional engineer's statement confirming that HVAC, plumbing, and energy-intensive systems operate under the specified control conditions and identifying any systems that do not meet ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.1, plus a Building Operating Plan with startup and shutdown schedules. The Lease Design Narrative (Final V3, dated September 5, 2026) is based on the VA community-based outpatient clinic prototype and requires compliance with IBC, NFPA, ASHRAE 170, FGI Guidelines, Joint Commission standards, ABAAS, and GSA Form L100. Other stated requirements include two Green Globes for new construction, FSL Level 2 security, Davis-Bacon wages, a phase one cultural resources study, and proof of site ownership or control. Amendment 4 requires partitions designed to lab-rated STC assemblies per ASTM E-336, with additional acoustic testing handled through tenant improvements, and reserves the Government's right to test acoustic levels independently.

Evaluation factors are location, technical quality, delivery schedule, offeror qualifications, past performance, and operations and maintenance plan. Offerors must initial every page of Amendment 4, sign the acknowledgment, and submit it with the revised proposal. Points of contact are Joseph Callahan (GUV Commercial Real Estate LLC) and Jerry Dawson (JCDawson Global Solutions).
