Cleveland, WI VA CBOC New Replacing Lease

The contract solicitation numbered 36C25225R0056 concerns a total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside lease for a new Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Cleveland, Wisconsin. This opportunity is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through the 252-NETWORK Contract Office 12 based in Milwaukee, WI, with a due date for proposal submission extended to January 12, 2026. The objective is to lease approximately 9,960 net square feet (NSF) of space, corresponding to about 11,952 assignable building office area (ABOA) square feet, suitable for a new VA primary care facility. The lease term is proposed for 20 years with a firm initial 10-year period, incorporating tenant improvements compliant with VA’s PACT design model, facility security requirements, and accessibility standards. The government requires the space to be substantially complete and ready for occupancy by April 1, 2027. Key evaluation factors emphasize the building and design concept, location and accessibility, availability, technical capability, and past performance, with an emphasis on best value rather than lowest price. The solicitation package includes detailed Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) documents, multiple amendments clarifying SDVOSB eligibility, extending deadlines, updating forms, and revising technical sections such as tenant improvement language. The submission process mandates the use of government-prescribed forms including GSA Form 1364 and adherence to federal clauses incorporating FAR and GSAR provisions. These address contract security, identity verification (PIV), cybersecurity, prohibitions on specific telecommunications equipment, small business subcontracting, and reporting requirements. The contract terms outline stringent inspection and acceptance criteria involving jurisdictional certificates of occupancy or fire protection engineer reports, adherence to ANSI/BOMA measurements, NFPA fire codes, ASME elevator safety, and ASHRAE ventilation standards. A detailed Statement of Work specifies design and engineering services for architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural components aligned with VA and federal construction standards. The lessor is responsible for facility operations, ongoing maintenance, and compliance with VA security level II standards, including physical and cyber safeguards. Offerors must demonstrate relevant past performance, especially evidence of successful lease projects of similar size and complexity within the past five years. Communication is coordinated through designated VA contracting officers with public documents and Q&A sessions held to ensure transparency and compliance with all regulatory and procedural requirements.
