The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting offers for approximately 2,284 square feet of commercial retail/office space in Searcy, Arkansas, within zip code 72143 and located a quarter mile from 1560 W Beebe Capps Expy, to serve as an Armed Forces Career Center. The space must include a secondary egress, dedicated 24/7 parking for seven government-owned vehicles, and additional parking for employees and customers within four blocks. Daytime janitorial services and highly visible signage are required, while locations adjacent to adult entertainment venues, night clubs, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana or hemp dispensaries, gun shops, or liquor stores are disqualifying due to incompatibility. All lessors must be registered with an active CAGE code in SAM.gov prior to submission. Proposals must include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of SAM.gov registration, and an existing floor plan. The lease term is generally negotiated for five years, but the government retains the right to terminate with reasonable notice; significant lessor contributions toward build-out costs are requested to incentivize firm five-year commitments, though such leases are not typically favored. The construction and security standards are non-negotiable, with strict requirements including Level 5 drywall finishes, STC 45+ soundproofing, LED signage with dusk-to-dawn sensors, HVAC systems maintaining 70°F–76°F, touchless fixtures, low-VOC materials, and compliance with ASHRAE, NFPA, IBC, and ABAAS standards. Submissions must adhere to specific CAD, PDF, and EPS file formats, including clean, purged AutoCAD .DWG files for as-built drawings. Evaluation criteria include location suitability, ability to meet all technical and security specifications, timeliness of submission, cost competitiveness, and qualitative feedback for mission alignment. The solicitation number is W912QR-SEARCYARFY27, with a response deadline of 5:30 PM on July 8, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to Latasha Rideout. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses covering small business subcontracting (including Alternate III of 52.219-9), veteran employment reporting, prohibition of debarred subcontractors, cybersecurity safeguards, identity verification for personnel, executive compensation reporting, and the avoidance of prohibited telecommunications equipment. Payment and invoice procedures reference remittance address matching and require

SOLICITATON FOR OFFER


LOCATION:   Searcy, AR


The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 2,284 square feet (useable) of commercial retail/office space located a ¼ mile radius of 1560 W Beebe Capps Expy, Searcy, AR.  Office space will be located within the zip code of 72143.  Space will need to include a secondary egress; have adequate parking (prefer it is sign designated) for 7 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:


  1. Location
  2. Ability to meet all construction specifications, security measures and lease requirements
  3. Complete initial and final offers must be received by defined deadline
  4. Competitive costs in the best interest of the government
  5. Qualitative ratings by client for mission

Additional information regarding this solicitation may be obtained from Latasha Rideout by email at latasha.l.rideout@usace.army.mil.  Proposals are due no later than 5:30 pm on 7/8/2026.
