Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: Only property owners or their representatives can respond. This is a building lease, not a service contract, so a business without a qualifying property cannot respond.
- Worth checking: 20-year lease with a 10-year firm term. The Government commits to 10 years, but the full term is 20, so owners should plan for both.
- Worth checking: Space open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The space, elevator and parking must be accessible around the clock.

- Worth checking: Incomplete submissions are not considered. A submission missing the required documents or information is not considered until they arrive, and they must arrive before the due date.
- Minor: Telecommunications prohibitions (Section 889). Offerors are advised to learn the Section 889 limits on certain telecommunications equipment.
