Who can bid
- Offered space must be in Richmond, VA, inside the area bounded by Robious Road (north), Reams Rd (south), N. Arch Rd (east) and Courthouse Rd (west)
- Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) before award and kept active through final payment
Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 13, 2026.
- Serious: Space must be in a set area of Richmond. Only property inside the stated street boundaries can be offered, so owners outside that area cannot bid.
- Serious: Lease proposal document attached but not read. The file LeaseProposal_SAMS.pdf is attached but not read here (access must be requested on SAM.gov), so the lease term, space requirements and evaluation are not covered by this brief.
- Worth checking: Solicitation ends if funds are not available. The Government can end the solicitation if funding is not in place by the due date.

- Worth checking: SAM registration needed before award. The Contracting Officer verifies registration, and an owner not registered in time loses the award to the next registered offeror. Check a SAM.gov registration.
