The VA currently occupies 10,400 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) of Optical Laboratory Fabrication and related space in a building under a lease in Indianapolis, Indiana, that will be expiring September 20, 2025. The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space in the delineated area that potentially can satisfy the Government s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.
