Market Search - DFW - Clallam County

The State of Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife is conducting a market search for approximately 2,428 BOMA rentable square feet of combined office, laboratory, and storage space located in the Clallam County area. This market search represents an initial phase in the real estate acquisition process designed to identify available properties from potential landlords and property owners that meet the agency's specified spatial, functional, and accessibility requirements. The solicitation documents establish baseline specifications and evaluation criteria for qualified real estate proposals, with Appendix C and Appendix F providing detailed technical parameters and standards by which available properties will be assessed for suitability. The market search functions as an information-gathering tool rather than a formal request for proposals, and no specific bid due date or formal response deadline has been established at this preliminary phase. Prospective property owners and commercial real estate providers are expected to present available properties in compliance with Building Owners and Managers Association measurement standards and the facility requirements established by the Department of Fish & Wildlife. Pricing terms, lease duration, renewal options, and other financial parameters will be addressed in subsequent stages of the procurement process following evaluation of responses received from the Clallam County real estate market.

The market search documentation does not identify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or limitations on the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors have been listed in the available solicitation materials. Similarly, no specific award values, budget ranges, or funding amounts have been disclosed at this preliminary market search phase. The absence of these standard procurement elements reflects the exploratory nature of this initial market search, which precedes formal lease negotiations and the establishment of binding financial and contractual terms. Interested property owners and real estate professionals should monitor the Department of Fish & Wildlife and Clark County procurement channels for updates regarding timelines for formal proposal submission and subsequent procurement activities.
