X1DZ--36C24426R0022 | Burlington County CBOC Succeeding Lease |

Expression of Interest Sought

THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. This request is for information only and does not constitute a request for proposals. Submission of any information in response to this market research is purely voluntary. The Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred associated with this request for capability information.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research/seeking capable sources from bondable and experienced firms that are classified and registered in www.vip.vetbiz.gov as either Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) that are interested in a forecasted lease project for a medical office space located in Marlton, NJ, to yield 13,595 net usable square feet (NUSF/ABOA) for use as a Community Based Outpatient/Primary Care Clinic.

The NAICS Code is 531120 Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except mini warehouses), and the small business size standard is $47.0 million, using the exception of leasing space to the Federal Government. Responses to this notice will assist the VA in determining if the acquisition should be set-aside for competition restricted to SDVOSB or VOSB concerns in accordance with 38 USC Sec. 8127. Although this notice focuses on SDVOSB and VOSB, we encourage ALL small businesses and other interested parties to respond for market research purposes.

The purpose of this Sources Sought is to see if there are any firms out there willing to host the VA s current clinic. The Government is trying to determine whether or not moving from the current location would result in a cost savings, and be within the best interest of the expense of taxpayer dollars. If no cost-effective alternatives are found, the Government may elect to award a succeeding lease for the current location.
