About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking alternative warehouse space for a facility in Honolulu, Hawaii, currently under lease that expires on February 14, 2026. The VA requires approximately 19,248 ABOA/19,824 rentable square feet of contiguous warehouse space with 21 parking spaces (7 reserved immediately outside the warehouse and 14 unreserved). The facility must be located within the Nimitz Highway Business District and within 0.3 walkable miles of public transportation, with access to nearby amenities. The government will evaluate alternative spaces based on economic advantages compared to renewing the current lease, considering relocation costs including physical moving expenses, tenant improvements, and infrastructure replication. Expressions of interest are due by January 7, 2026, at 3:30 PM PST and must be submitted via email only to Jessica Nonaka (Lease Contract Specialist) and Melinda Thome (Lease Contracting Officer) at jessica.nonaka@va.gov and melinda.thome@va.gov, respectively.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and the government has not disclosed the identity of the current leaseholder or specific budget parameters. If no economically advantageous alternatives are identified, the VA intends to pursue a sole source acquisition with the incumbent lessor under GSA Acquisition Manual authority for succeeding leases. Interested parties must provide detailed submissions including property address, ownership documentation, square footage verification, rental rates, parking specifications, floor plans, zoning maps, and evidence of compliance with all government requirements. The desired lease term is 20 years, consisting of 10 years at a fixed rate and 10 years at a non-fixed rate, with termination rights. No specific award value or budget range has been announced at this pre-solicitation stage.
