The USDA Farm Production and Conservation Business Center wants to lease about 3,270 to 3,443 usable square feet of office space in Henderson, Kentucky, inside a set map area. The government wants a 20-year term (5 years firm) in an existing building or one built for it, and offers are due October 25, 2026.
Watch out for
- Long 20-year lease commitment. The government can leave after 5 years with 120 days notice, but the owner is committed for the firm term, and a new building may need financing.
Full Term: 20 Firm Term: 5 Termination Rights: 120 days in whole or in part, after the Firm Term
- Only property owners or controllers can respond. This is a real estate lease, not a services contract, so you need a qualifying building or site within the delineated area.
Sub leases are not acceptable
- Award is far out. The estimated award date is nearly 9 months after offers are due.
Lease Award Date (Estimated): July 1, 2027
