The space houses the Office of the Attorney General. The companion Invitation for Bid, RELS 0000000010SL, issued by the Department of Administration, opened October 26, 2026 and carries the same due date. No set-aside, preference, or local-vendor requirement is stated.

The space must accommodate 15 employees (10 attorney general staff and 5 support staff) with reception, conference rooms, and file storage.

The base bid rental rate must be firm and fixed for the lease term, with separate optional charges for utilities and janitorial services if the lessor provides them. No modifications to standard lease provisions are permitted after award.

The RFP evaluates proposals 75 percent on lowest cost and 25 percent on best value, with maximum cost points going to the lowest responsive base bid annual cost and subjective points awarded during mandatory bid evaluation meetings.
