Invitation to Submit Proposals for Real Property For Sale

The State of Connecticut's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking proposals to purchase real property statewide for the Judicial Branch through a competitive solicitation released on March 1, 2025. The procurement specifically requests property that can accommodate a facility up to 50,000 square feet with sufficient parking, with proposals being accepted exclusively through sale offers. Potential sellers or authorized representatives must submit their proposals directly to DAS Leasing by March 21, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. EDT, with strict exclusions for lease proposals and offers from existing option holders. The solicitation applies to properties located anywhere within Connecticut and requires potential sellers to provide comprehensive details about their proposed real estate offering. Vendors must adhere to "Free On Board Destination" delivery terms and include vendor-specified payment terms in their submissions. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Samantha McLaughlin from DAS Leasing, who can provide additional information or clarification about the solicitation requirements.

The solicitation appears to be open to all property owners without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The RFP does not specify a predetermined budget range or estimated total value for the property purchase, suggesting that pricing will be determined through the competitive proposal process. While the document provides limited details about evaluation criteria, it implies that factors such as property location, size, parking availability, and alignment with the Judicial Branch's facility requirements will likely influence selection. Potential sellers should prepare comprehensive proposals that clearly demonstrate how their property meets the state's specified needs for a 50,000 square foot facility. The procurement process emphasizes direct sale proposals and seeks properties that can effectively support the Judicial Branch's operational requirements statewide.
