X1DB--Defiance New/Replacing

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 seeks 13,200 ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area square feet of contiguous office space in Defiance, Ohio, with proposals due September 14 and a virtual pre-proposal conference scheduled August 12. This procurement is an SDVOSB set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that pool.

Place of performance is Defiance, Ohio 43512. The space must be located on a single floor, preferably first floor, within a defined Area of Consideration bounded by Breckler Road, Jewell Road, West High Street, East River Drive, Carpenter Road, and Christy Road/Haller Street, in a modern quality building with stone, marble, brick, or similar permanent materials facade. Sixty-six surface parking spaces (including ten percent ADA-compliant with van-accessible provisions) reserved exclusively for government use are required. The NAICS code is 531120, Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings; PSC is X1DB, Lease/Rental of Laboratories and Clinics.

Lease term options are 15 years with 10-year firm and one 5-year non-firm option; 20 years with 10-year firm and one 10-year non-firm option; or 20 years with 15-year firm and one 5-year non-firm option. Offerors must price all three scenarios. The lease is fully serviced and turnkey with rent covering all lessor costs including shell upgrades, tenant improvements, operating costs, real estate taxes, and security upgrades. Building Specific Amortized Capital is $12.00 per ABOA square foot. Evaluation weighs six factors with price less important than technical merit: Building, Architectural and Design Concept; Site Development; Project Management, Operations, and Maintenance; Past Performance; SDVOSB/VOSB Status; and Price (using Present Value Price Evaluation methodology discounted at 5 percent annually). Offerors must provide Design Intent Drawings prior to award and demonstrate Energy Star certification or equivalent. The government anticipates award on or before January 31, 2027. Amendment 0001 extended the deadline to September 14 and established the pre-proposal conference for August 12, 1:00–2:00 PM Eastern Time; pre-registration closes August 10 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time via nathan.hainstock@va.gov.
