Short Term Office Rental for Southern MS

The USDA Rural Development is seeking a short-term office rental in D’Iberville or Biloxi, Mississippi, excluding the Biloxi peninsula, to accommodate eight federal employees in a move-in-ready facility requiring no tenant improvements. The leased space must be a minimum of 1,600 square feet and include at least three private offices and a conference room capable of seating 15 individuals, along with telephone and internet service. The facility must comply with the International Building Code for office occupancies, be fully ADA compliant with public accessibility, provide exclusive access and control to USDA Rural Development, and feature exterior doors capable of locking for security. The rental must be full-service, encompassing all utilities, janitorial services, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs within the monthly rate. Adequate parking is required for five visitors and three government vehicles. The contract includes a base period of twelve months with two optional twelve-month extension periods, and occupancy is desired immediately upon award. The procurement follows simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12 as a commercial service, with award likely based on lowest-priced technically acceptable criteria. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, and submissions are due by June 3, 2026, through the SAM.gov portal. The contracting officer is Elyse Schnorr, based at the USDA office in Washington, DC, and the place of performance is strictly limited to the designated Mississippi locations. No set-aside preferences apply, and no specific pricing or contract value is disclosed in the presolicitation notice.
