GSA's Public Buildings Service wants to lease about 6,345 to 6,662 square feet of office space in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for three federal tenants (USDA OIG, FPS and DCSA). The lease term is 15 years, with 13 years firm, and the space must be ready by June 1, 2027. Offers are made through the GSA Leasing Portal and are due October 16, 2026.
Watch out for
- Tight occupancy deadline. Space must be built out and accepted by the Government by June 1, 2027, and failure to show you can meet the schedule makes an offer technically unacceptable.
An offeror's ability to meet the post award schedule requirements is material to this procurement.
- Real estate requirement, not a service contract. Only owners or those with control of a qualifying building can offer, so a typical service-based small business cannot bid.
Proof of authorization to represent the owner, or proof of ownership or control, as applicable
- Price-only competition. Award goes to the lowest price among technically acceptable offers with no negotiations, leaving little room to improve a bid.
Lease award will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer without negotiations.
- Specialized space needs. The layout includes a grand jury room, firearm and evidence storage, canine training space and 24/7 HVAC server rooms.
IT server room (requires 24/7 HVAC)
- Floodplain mitigation plan possible. If the building is in the 100-year floodplain, the Government may require a mitigation plan during due diligence.
the Government may request a Floodplain Mitigation Strategy Plan during the due diligence phase

The Government anticipates some construction will be necessary; however, offerors must demonstrate the ability to meet the required Post-Award Schedule to be considered technically eligible for award and as, this is a low price, technically acceptable procurement, the final evaluated price will determine the intended awardee among technically eligible offers.

The narrative must identify key risks and the offeror’s mitigation actions. The narrative must identify any anticipated scope items beyond minor reconfiguration/finishes and limited MEP device relocations that could impact the critical path or the Post Award Schedule timeframes and explain how the schedule time frames will still be met. Evidence of Capability: If identified as the Apparent Successful Offeror, the offeror must submit the following items in addition to those required by Section 3.06 of the RLP prior to award. Identification of A/E and at least two General Contractors that will participate in the bidding process (or if not yet under contract, a firm plan for engagement and a letter of commitment from the proposed firm(s).
