The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is seeking offers for approximately 4,000 square feet of usable commercial retail/office space in Marion, Illinois, bounded by I-13 to the north, Hendrickson Street to the south, Old Springs Road to the east, and I-57 to the west. The space must accommodate 10 government-owned vehicles with 24/7 sign-designated parking, along with additional parking for employees and customers within four blocks, and include daytime janitorial services and prominent signage for maximum visibility. Properties adjacent to adult entertainment venues, bars, nightclubs, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana or hemp dispensaries, gun shops, or liquor stores will be disqualified due to incompatibility. All lessors must be actively registered in SAM.gov and submit a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of SAM registration including an active CAGE code, and the existing floor plan. The lease term is generally five years with a government termination clause, but firm five-year commitments require significant lessor contribution to build-out costs, which are otherwise rarely approved. The lease incorporates non-negotiable general conditions, construction and security specifications requiring compliance with federal, state, and local codes, Energy Star standards, low-VOC materials, formaldehyde emission limits, and specific fire safety standards including NFPA 13, 25, and 72. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and communication systems must be installed per detailed technical requirements, and as-built drawings in DWG and PDF formats are mandatory upon completion. Janitorial services must adhere to a strict schedule including daily, monthly, and annual cleaning tasks. Cybersecurity requirements mandate adherence to FAR 52.204-21 for safeguarding government information systems, personal identity verification under FAR 52.204-9 and GSAR 552.204-9, and prohibitions on telecommunications equipment from designated vendors under FAR 52.204-25 and related clauses. Evaluation of proposals will prioritize location, compliance with all construction, security, and lease requirements, timeliness of submission, competitive pricing in the government’s interest, and qualitative feedback from the client regarding mission suitability. Proposals must be submitted electronically via SAM.gov no later than August 4, 2026, at 5:30 p.m., and any incomplete submissions will be rejected.

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 4,000 square feet (useable) of commercial retail/office space within the delineated area. Space will need to include a secondary egress; have adequate parking (prefer it is sign designated) for 10 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
