The VA's Office of Construction and Facilities Management wants to lease a new outpatient clinic (the VA Conroe Health Care Center) in Conroe, Texas, from a private owner who builds it. The building is about 195,131 to 229,566 usable square feet (up to 258,262 rentable) on no more than three contiguous floors, with a lease term of up to 20 years firm. Amendment 3 (October 8, 2026) switches the lease to net of utilities and sets Final Proposal Revisions due November 9, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern.
Watch out for
- This may be a final-revisions round only. The newest amendment only mentions Final Proposal Revisions, and initial offers were due in late 2025, so a new bidder may be too late; ask the contracting officer or broker whether new offers are accepted.
Final Proposal Revisions are due November 9, 2026, 4:00 PM EST.

- Terms changed late in the process. Amendment 3 moved the lease from full service to net of utilities, set a 956-space parking minimum (earlier materials said 1,300), and the completion schedule was extended from 28 to 37 months, so earlier answers may no longer apply.

- Off-site and utility costs fall on the lessor. The owner pays for off-site improvements, utility hook-up fees and deposits, and must put them in the rent.
The cost of off-site improvements will be borne by the Lessor.
- Award timing is uncertain. VA's projected award date depends on congressional budget authorization and due diligence, so the timeline can slip.
The current projection for the VA is Q4 2026
- No conditions allowed. Offers with contingencies can be rejected, so all risks must be priced in.
VA will not accept conditional offers.
- Key documents not fully available. The RLP and lease packages were in a zip file that was not read, and the middle of the design narrative was cut, so full requirements are unknown.
