AI Contract Overview
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) plans to award a sole-source, five-year firm-term lease to Beacon Capital Partners, DBA LCPC Lafayette Property LLC, for its current headquarters at 1155 21st St NW in Washington DC, encompassing 289,295 rentable square feet. This lease is necessary to bridge the gap until a new long-term facility can be competitively procured, designed, constructed, and occupied, as the existing lease expires on September 30, 2027, leaving insufficient time to complete the transition. The CFTC has determined that its current location is critical to maintaining operational continuity, supporting staff growth, and enabling the agency to respond effectively to evolving market demands while preserving its dual focus on innovation and traditional derivatives markets. The agency has independent leasing authority under 7 U.S.C. § 16(b)(3) and has concluded that no other property can meet its needs by the required occupancy date of October 1, 2027, justifying the use of sole-source procurement under FAR 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1). This action is being taken under a presolicitation notice with no formal competitive request, although the government will accept written responses from any responsible party until 5 PM ET on June 20, 2026. Responses must include substantiating information demonstrating capability to fulfill the requirement, but oral communications will not be considered. The government will use this input solely for market research and does not guarantee future competition. An award is anticipated on or around September 30, 2026, and the CFTC will not bear any costs incurred by respondents preparing submissions. The lease remains under the agency’s direct control, with Benjamin Van Wormer as the primary point of contact for all inquiries, and the place of performance is confirmed as the existing headquarters at Washington DC, 20581.

Full Description
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") intends to negotiate and award a sole-source lease to Beacon Capital Partners, DBA LCPC Lafayette Property LLC for the CFTC’s existing Headquarters (“HQ”) lease at 1155 21st St. NW, Washington, DC 20581. The CFTC intends to award a new, 5-year firm-term lease to Beacon Capital Partners for the existing CFTC footprint at this address, which is 289,295 rentable square feet (RSF).
This new 5-year lease is necessary to account for the time required to competitively award a new long-term lease and then design, build out, and move to a new headquarters location. CFTC’s current HQ lease expires on September 30, 2027, which does not allow sufficient time for these steps.
This necessity is the result of the CFTC’s changing requirements and a determination by CFTC leadership that 355 E St SW, Washington, DC, 20024 was insufficient for CFTC’s needs.
By maintaining its current HQ location, the Commission will ensure there is enough room for staff as the agency brings more talent onboard to respond to industry growth and innovation. By remaining at its current location, CFTC staff will not be disrupted from their work as the agency pushes forward a wide agenda between new innovative products and its traditional derivatives roots in agriculture. The CFTC also is well-positioned to bring savings on its next lease and solving a long-simmering problem that has plagued the agency. The CFTC has independent leasing authority (reference 7 U.S.C. § 16(b)(3)) and is the lease holder for its Washington, DC location at 1155 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20581.
The Government intends to procure this requirement under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) because “the property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency.” The CFTC requires office space beginning October 1, 2027, and there is no other property that could satisfy the CFTC’s needs by that date.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS or a solicitation of offers. However, the Government will consider written responses from all responsible sources received by 5PM ET, June 20, 2026. Written responses must include sufficient information to establish the capability to fulfill the requirement. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of future Market Research requirements. No formal solicitation package is available. The Government anticipates award on or about September 30, 2026. The Government will not be responsible for any costs of preparation in response to this announcement.
