The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 2,250 square feet of usable commercial retail/office space located within a quarter-mile radius of 2531 Franksway St, Columbus, Ohio, in the 43232 zip code. The space must include a secondary egress, designated parking for seven government-owned vehicles available 24/7, and sufficient parking within four blocks for employees and customers. Daytime janitorial services and prominent signage for maximum visibility are mandatory. Properties adjacent to adult entertainment venues, nightclubs, bars, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana or hemp dispensaries, gun shops, or liquor stores will be disqualified due to incompatibility. Offerors must be actively registered in SAM.gov with a valid CAGE code prior to submission and must provide a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of SAM registration, and an existing floor plan. The lease term is typically five years, though the government reserves the right to terminate with reasonable notice; to secure a firm five-year term, lessors must contribute significantly to build-out costs, as firm-term leases are generally not accepted. Evaluation criteria prioritize location, ability to meet all construction, security, and lease specifications, timely submission of complete offers, competitive pricing in the government’s interest, and qualitative ratings relative to the mission. The building must comply with ASHRAE 62.1, ABAAS, ASTM C578, Energy Star, and other applicable federal, state, and local codes, including requirements for formaldehyde emissions, fire retardant treatments, and specific materials such as vinyl wall graphics and aluminum channel letters. All construction work must be substantially completed and inspected by the government prior to lease commencement, with final acceptance contingent on a Certificate of Occupancy. Security requirements include compliance with FAR 52.240-92 and FAR 52.204-9 regarding personnel identity verification and safeguarding contractor information systems. Subcontracting and reporting obligations under FAR 52.219-8, FAR 52.219-9, and FAR 52.204-10 apply, including the potential for liquidated damages if small business goals are not met. The offer deadline is 5:30 p.m. on July 8, 2026, and all submissions must be electronic and submitted through the federal procurement system. No contract value is specified,

SOLICITATON FOR OFFER
LOCATION: Columbus, OH
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Recruiting Facilities Program, is soliciting offers for approximately 2,250 square feet (useable) of commercial retail/office space located a ¼ mile radius of 2531 Franksway St, OH. Office space will be located within the zip code of 43232. 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:
- 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 Jason May by email at jason.s.may@usace.army.mil. Proposals are due no later than 5:30 pm on 7/8/2026.
