AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 4,565 square feet of commercial retail or office space to establish an Armed Forces Career Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, specifically within the 46250 zip code and within a quarter-mile radius of 8233 Center Run Road. The required space must feature a secondary egress, daytime janitorial services, maximum visibility signage, and dedicated 24/7 parking for 19 government vehicles, plus additional customer and employee parking within four blocks. To ensure mission compatibility, sites located adjacent to businesses such as adult entertainment, nightclubs, liquor stores, or dispensaries may be disqualified.

Offerors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management and provide a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, an active CAGE code, and existing floor plans. Proposals are due by 5:30 pm on October 30, 2026. The build-out must comply with all federal, state, and local building codes, including ADA/ABAAS and OSHA standards, and utilize Energy Star labeled components. Specific branding requirements mandate the use of white LED backlit metal channel letters in blue pantone 287 for the main signage. The contract incorporates various Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering small business programs, HubZone preferences, and security requirements. Acceptance of the space is contingent upon a final inspection and the provision of a valid local Certificate of Occupancy.

SOLICITATON FOR OFFER
LOCATION: Indianapolis, IN
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 4,565 square feet (useable) of commercial retail/office space located a ¼ mile radius of 8233 Center Run Rd, Indianapolis, IN. Office space will be located within the zip code of 46250. Space will need to include a secondary egress; have adequate parking (prefer it is sign designated) for 19 Government-owned vehicles 24 hours a day/7 days a week, as well as adequate parking within 4 blocks for employee and customer vehicles; include daytime janitorial services; and include adequate signage for maximum visibility. Sites that are located adjacent to adult entertainment shops (i.e. book stores, video stores, or theatres), night clubs/bars, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana/hemp dispensaries, medical marijuana dispensaries, gun shops, liquor stores, etc. could potentially be eliminated from competition as these are considered non-compatible businesses. Lessors are required to be registered and active in www.sam.gov prior to the deadline for final offer submission.
Offers will need to include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of registration in www.sam.gov (i.e. active CAGE code), and the existing floor plan. Attached is a copy of the lease document, the general conditions, the construction specifications, the janitorial specifications, the rental proposal worksheet, and instructions for System for Award Management (SAM) registration. Thoroughly review all documents and make sure that you agree to the terms presented. The first four (4) pages of the lease have negotiable terms; however, the general conditions are standard and are not negotiable and must be accepted as written and shown on the attached file. Review the construction specifications completely as they stipulate additional lessor responsibilities.
Leases are negotiated for a 5-year term, but they include a clause stating the Government can terminate giving reasonable days’ notice. In order to incorporate firm term years, meaning the Government cannot get out of the lease for a specified period of time, we ask the lessor to provide a significant contribution towards the build-out costs. Five year firm term leases are generally not considered.
Following are the factors that will be considered when evaluating bids/offers:
- Location
- Ability to meet all construction specifications, security measures and lease requirements
- Complete initial and final offers must be received by defined deadline
- Competitive costs in the best interest of the government
- Qualitative ratings by client for mission
Additional information regarding this solicitation may be obtained from Scott Benningfield by email at stephen.s.benningfield@usace.army.mil. Proposals are due no later than 5:30 pm on 10/30/2026.
