Award Notice in North Charleston, SC: Solicitation No. 0SC2088-2

The General Services Administration (GSA), through its Public Buildings Service Office of Leasing, issued Solicitation No. 0SC2088-2 seeking expressions of interest for leasing approximately 9,857 ABOA square feet of fully serviced contiguous office space in North Charleston, South Carolina. The lease term is structured for a total of 10 years, encompassing a firm five-year period with no options for extension. The solicited space must comply with specific government standards including fire safety, accessibility (ADA), seismic resilience, and sustainability criteria, and must be located outside a 1-percent annual chance floodplain within a bounded area in North Charleston. The government emphasizes adherence to Section 889 of the FY19 NDAA prohibiting certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment. Offerors are required to submit detailed building and site information—including floor plans with ABOA and RSF designations, parking availability, full-service rental rates, tenant improvement readiness dates, and evidence of regulatory compliance—by November 14, 2025, with planned occupancy scheduled for November 2026. This solicitation represents a market research and lease acquisition effort rather than a finalized contract, as it lacks explicit contract clauses, detailed evaluation factors, pricing, and award methodologies. Submissions must include written consent if offered by an agent, along with mandatory registration in SAM.gov to ensure unique entity identification and compliance with federal procurement regulations. The GSA contracting office, located in Washington, DC, will oversee inspection and acceptance at the lease location in North Charleston, with contract administration handled through standard government channels though detailed invoicing and payment data are not specified. Key contacts for this procurement include Brad Seifert and Hunter Powell, who will coordinate the evaluation of responses. The government seeks to determine the most cost-effective and operationally viable space accommodating long-term leasing needs, including considerations for tenant improvements and potential disruptions due to relocation.
