The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management is seeking a lease for an Outpatient Clinic in Katy, Texas, requiring approximately 175,306 ANSI/BOMA square feet of space. The VA is interested in both existing buildings and build-to-suit options within a specific geographic boundary in Katy, with key requirements including a lease term up to 20 years, 1,000 parking spaces, and space located on no more than two contiguous floors. Potential respondents must submit detailed capabilities statements that include past performance on similar projects, evidence of financing capability, and proof of SDVOSB/VOSB status if applicable. The VA will evaluate responses based on the ability to meet specific facility requirements, such as avoiding FEMA 100-year flood plains and including a loading dock. Responses are due by February 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with the agency anticipating market surveys in March 2025 and issuing a Request for Lease Proposals in July 2025.

While no specific set-aside has been definitively established, the VA shows a strong preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) under NAICS code 531120. The project has an anticipated construction/buildout cost range of $50-100 million, with a current prospectus authorization of $6,761,000 in annual unserviced cost. The maximum rentable square footage is 197,211 RSF, and the facility will require specific amenities including a loading dock and ground-level parking. The solicitation is identified by contract number 36C10F25Q0027 and falls under the Product Service Code X1DB for lease/rental of laboratories and clinics. Contractors should note that no Recovery Act funds are involved, and the opportunity represents a significant long-term leasing prospect for a medical facility in the Katy, Texas area.
