WANTED TO LEASE BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA - Spring Valley

The State of California's Department of Food and Agriculture and Department of General Services is soliciting a lease for approximately 3,180 net usable square feet of warehouse and office space located in Spring Valley, San Diego County. The procurement requires a property with sixteen (16) exclusive parking spaces, including ten (10) electric vehicle spaces, situated within a fully fenced yard. Key requirements for the property include being asbestos-free, compliant with state plans, seismic safety standards, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, and California Building Code. The property must be located within boundaries defined by Lake Hodges to the north, Highway 94 to the south, Highway 125 to the east, and Highway 163 to the west, and should be in close proximity to public transportation. The solicitation's response deadline is May 7, 2025, with interested property owners or legally authorized agents required to contact Julie Sutton via email (julie.sutton@dgs.ca.gov) with the property's address, map, and project number (14861). The State will give preference to properties demonstrating LEED or Energy Star compliance where cost-effective.

The procurement has specific set-aside and enterprise considerations, emphasizing compliance with Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise requirements. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the solicitation. The opportunity is restricted to property owners or their legally authorized agents who can meet the comprehensive technical and physical specifications outlined in the request. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a commercial real estate lease for a state agency facility. The solicitation is explicitly not for representing the State in any real estate transaction, but rather a direct solicitation for commercial real estate properties meeting precise operational and technical criteria. The Department of General Services is positioning this as a full-service commercial real estate procurement, seeking a property that can accommodate the Department of Food and Agriculture's specific spatial and operational needs in the Spring Valley area.
