Things to watch (11)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: Part of the requirements is available only on request. The agency requirements with sensitive information are not on SAM.gov; you must ask the Lease Contracting Officer's designee, who first checks your business need to know.
- Serious: Engineer's report on the parking structure due with the proposal. A licensed structural professional engineer must confirm the garage or garage retrofit supports vehicles up to 13,000 pounds, which costs money and time before you know if you win.
- Serious: Executed broker commission agreement due with the offer. You must sign a commission agreement with the Government's broker, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc., and acknowledge possible dual agency; the broker's commission is part of your rent.
Show all 11Show fewer
- Serious: Narrow location and 150 reserved parking spaces. Space must be in a small Fort Lee area, above the first floor, away from residential areas, and come with 150 reserved covered spaces, 30 of them caged and within 500 walkable feet.
- Worth checking: 15-year firm term with no early exit for the Government. The lease is 15 years, all firm, so you commit the space for the full term and the Government may end it only after that firm term.
- Worth checking: Tenant improvements may run over the allowance. The tenant improvement (TI) allowance is $103.90 per ABOA square foot, and the Government expects the build-out to exceed it by about $127.56 per ABOA square foot, which you may need to finance.
- Worth checking: Security improvements priced in the offer. The Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC), the amount used to build security upgrades, is $12.00 per ABOA square foot, and you build and pay for those countermeasures as part of the rent.
- Worth checking: Law enforcement use of the space. The space must include a firearms storage room and a holding cell, a second entrance for a controlled area, and a way to bring detainees in away from the public.
- Worth checking: Square footage differs between SAM.gov and the RLP. The SAM.gov title gives a minimum of 25,939 ABOA square feet while the RLP and procurement summary give 25,936; ask the Lease Contracting Officer which governs.
- Worth checking: Operating lease limits could change the option. The Government may drop or shorten the 5-year option, and only offers that comply with operating lease limits can win; an amendment would follow any change.
- Minor: Fitness center and vending area inside the space. About 1,400 ABOA square feet for a fitness center, training room and locker rooms, and about 250 for a vending facility, must fit inside the leased space and be built by the lessor.
