About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is seeking to procure clinical and related outpatient office space through a succeeding lease in Gloucester, MA 01930. This is a sources sought notice and advertisement for a sole source lease award under the General Services Acquisition Manual Part 570.402, which allows for non-competitive awards when alternative locations would result in substantial duplication of costs. The government is currently occupying space in Gloucester with a lease expiring May 31, 2026, and intends to pursue a sole source acquisition unless the VA determines that competitive procurement is economically advantageous. Key requirements include approximately 3,365 ABOA or 4,825 rentable square feet of space that is ADA-compliant, preferably first-floor contiguous, with 22 on-site parking spaces including 2 ADA-compliant spaces at the main entrance. The VA will evaluate submissions based on economic feasibility of alternatives, considering relocation costs such as physical move expenses, tenant improvement replication, telecommunications infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime. Interested parties must submit a written statement of capability with property information, photographs, general layout, location details, and approximate price-per-square-foot pricing by March 16, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time to Melinda Sanderson, Realty Specialist, at Melinda.Sanderson@va.gov.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation. The current lease holder is the incumbent at the existing Gloucester location, though the notice does not identify the specific contractor by name. No award value or budget range is specified in the notice, as the government is conducting market research to determine whether to proceed competitively or with a sole source award. The estimated lease term is up to 10 years total, consisting of a 5-year firm term and 5-year non-firm term, and the space must be currently available for occupancy and located within Gloucester, MA city limits. The government assumes no responsibility for awarding based on responses, will not pay commissions, and offerors bear all costs associated with their submissions. The Solicitation Number is 36C24126Q0307, with the Contracting Office located at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Box 90C - NCO1, Augusta, ME 04330.
