No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The property has been subject to both asbestos and lead-based paint assessments; the Asbestos Survey Report (dated December 17, 2025) identifies potential asbestos-containing materials and provides guidance for handling suspect materials encountered during work, while the Lead Inspection Report (dated December 10, 2025) confirms that no lead-based paint exceeding the federal action level of 1.0 mg/cm² was detected in any of 129 sample locations tested.
