AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information on available commercial space in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to lease up to 3,400 rentable square feet and 2,688 usable square feet, primarily for Readjustment Counseling Service activities. The space must be ADA compliant and include nine on-site surface parking spaces. While the preferred space is contiguous on the first floor, non-contiguous or upper-floor spaces with elevator access will also be considered. The lease term is planned for 20 years with a firm term of five years, aiming for occupancy by December 31, 2027. The current government lease in Scranton for similar space expires at that time, and alternative properties will be evaluated based on cost-effectiveness, including relocation and setup expenses. This notice is a market research effort rather than a solicitation, and the VA is not obligated to award a lease based on responses. Interested parties, including property owners or brokers, are invited to submit information about available properties by May 14, 2026, including photos, layouts, location, and proposed pricing per square foot. Communication should be directed to the designated leasing specialists, and submissions exceeding 8 MB should be forwarded in multiple emails. The government emphasizes acquiring leases on the most favorable terms consistent with market rates and operational efficiency, and no commission fees will be paid by the VA.
