General Services Administration (GSA) Seeks to lease the following space: Solicitation No. 2TN0427

The General Services Administration is seeking to lease approximately 11,389 assignable building office area square feet of modern office space in Knoxville, Tennessee, under solicitation 2TN0427, with a proposed lease term of 15 years, including a firm 13-year period. The space must meet Facility Security Level II requirements and be suitable for federal law enforcement operations, incorporating secure weapon storage, temporary detention capability, and controlled access for detainee transport via sally port or secured elevator. The building must be located within a defined delineated area bounded by Hardin Valley Road, Middlebrook Pike, Kingston Pike SW, and I-140, and must not be situated within 200 walkable feet of sensitive facilities such as schools, hospitals, churches, or social service centers. It must also not lie within a 1-percent or 0.2-percent annual chance floodplain. The structure must feature modern construction with durable exterior materials, an efficient, unobstructed interior layout, and full compliance with ADA, NFPA, IBC, and Executive Order 14057 sustainability standards. Compliance with Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act, prohibiting the use of certain telecommunications and surveillance equipment, is mandatory. The solicitation requires a fully serviced lease with 19 reserved, secured government parking spaces, all fenced and equipped with two independent ingress/egress points and automatic gates. Offerors must submit a comprehensive package of 12 documentation items, including ownership verification, authoritative leasing permission, site and floor plans, parking layouts, and maps confirming location relative to the delineated area, nearby public transit, and amenities. All submissions must be sent electronically by December 30, 2025, to designated GSA broker contacts. The estimated market survey will occur in February 2026, with an anticipated occupancy date of October 2027. While no contract value or pricing details are disclosed, the structure of requirements—emphasizing mandatory technical and security compliance without cost-based evaluation criteria—strongly implies a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis for award. The Lease Contracting Officer is Dave Rauen, and all submissions will be reviewed for adherence to these non-negotiable standards prior to acceptance, with final occupancy contingent upon full satisfaction of all facility and regulatory requirements.
