X1DZ--Aberdeen Vet Center Outstation

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking a leased facility for an Aberdeen Vet Center Outstation through Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) No. 36C24525R0018. The government requires up to 2,217 assignable building office area (ABOA) square feet of contiguous office space with a 20-year lease term consisting of five years firm and 15 years soft, commencing on or about May 1, 2026. The solicitation requires a fully serviced, turnkey lease arrangement that covers shell upgrades, tenant improvements, operating costs, real estate taxes, and security upgrades, with the facility designated as Facility Security Level II. Proposals will be evaluated based on six factors in descending order of importance: Location, Site, Program/Property Management, Project Management, Past Performance, and Price. The original proposal deadline was August 11, 2025, which was subsequently extended to August 18, 2025, with a pre-proposal meeting held on July 31, 2025, and the final deadline for submitting written questions being August 13, 2025 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. The solicitation specifies that the facility must include 15 surface parking spaces with four handicapped-accessible spaces, modern building construction meeting energy efficiency standards, and proximity to amenities and public transportation within a specified area of consideration in Aberdeen, Maryland. While specific award values are not stated, the scope requires comprehensive facility improvements detailed in extensive exhibits including architectural specifications, security requirements, tenant improvement cost summaries, fire protection evaluations, and annual cost statements. The government intends to award a lease to the responsible offeror presenting the best value after evaluation, with the potential to conduct discussions if deemed necessary. However, it should be noted that the most recent amendment dated November 3, 2025 cancels this solicitation entirely, indicating that the original RLP 36C24525R0018 is no longer active and will not proceed to award.
