Lease to Purchase of Warehouse Distribution Space for Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM), West Coast , Chino, CA

The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) is seeking proposals for a lease-to-purchase agreement for a modern distribution center ranging between 400,000 and 600,000 square feet within a 50-mile radius of its existing West Coast Distribution Center in Chino, California. The lease is intended to begin operational occupancy approximately 8 to 10 months after award, with an initial term of one year and the option to renew for an additional fourteen one-year terms. A key requirement of the solicitation is that offerors provide purchase prices for the facility for the first five years, as the Government retains the right to purchase the property during the initial term and the first four option periods, though it is not obligated to do so. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 53 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Navfacsyscom Atlantic office in Norfolk, Virginia. Proposals must be submitted by July 13, 2026, and must include purchase options to be considered responsive. The Government reserves the right to negotiate the purchase price based on Fair Market Value and emphasizes the importance of flexibility in both leasing and potential acquisition. The point of contact for this opportunity is Tracy Chapman, who can be reached via email or phone.
