The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is seeking commercial retail and office space totaling approximately 5,786 square feet of usable area within a one-quarter mile radius of 621 Highgrove Pl, Rockford, Illinois, in zip code 61108. The leased space must include a secondary egress, provide dedicated parking for 19 government-owned vehicles available 24/7, and ensure sufficient additional parking within four blocks for employees and customers. Daytime janitorial services and highly visible signage are mandatory. Properties adjacent to adult entertainment venues, nightlife establishments, drug treatment centers, marijuana dispensaries, gun shops, or liquor stores will be excluded due to compatibility concerns. All lessors must be active and registered in SAM.gov with a valid CAGE code prior to the proposal deadline of July 8, 2026. Proposals must include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of SAM registration, and existing floor plans. The lease term is structured for five years, though the government retains the right to terminate with reasonable notice; to secure a firm five-year commitment, lessors are expected to contribute significantly toward build-out costs, and leases without such contributions are not generally favored. Evaluation of submissions will prioritize location suitability, compliance with all construction, security, and lease requirements, timely submission, competitive pricing in the government’s interest, and qualitative feedback related to mission effectiveness. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and GSAR clauses including security requirements, small business participation mandates, equal opportunity provisions, subcontracting plans, and reporting obligations for executive compensation and subcontract awards. Construction must adhere to specific standards from Army, Navy, Air Force, and Army National Guard specifications, with attention to HVAC, electrical, plumbing, low-voltage systems, and finishes meeting ASHRAE, ANSI, Energy Star, and NFPA guidelines. All work requires government inspection and acceptance on-site, with final approval contingent upon compliance with approved floor plans, as-built documentation, and all technical specifications. The lease includes non-negotiable general conditions and requires adherence to federal, state, and local building codes. Proposals must be submitted electronically via SAM.gov by 5:30 p.m. on July 8, 2026.

SOLICITATON FOR OFFER


LOCATION:   Rockford, IL


The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 5,786 square feet (useable) of commercial retail/office space located a ¼ mile radius of 621 Highgrove Pl, Rockford, IL.  Office space will be located within the zip code of 61108.  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:


  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 Natasha Thomas by email at natasha.s.thomas@usace.army.mil.  Proposals are due no later than 5:30 pm on 7/8/2026.
