The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, is soliciting lease proposals for approximately 3.7 acres of open storage land located within a 1.5-mile radius of 1 Overcash Avenue in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, adjacent to the Letterkenny Army Depot. Proposals must be submitted via email to Jessica Brannon no later than 1700 EDT on May 15, 2026, and must be divided into two volumes: a Technical Proposal containing documentation to demonstrate site compliance—including an aerial photo, location map, plat, and evidence of 24/7 access—and a Cost Proposal detailing the proposed rental rate per acre using the Government’s Financial Terms Summary Worksheet, certified valid through June 30, 2026. The solicitation, numbered 2026-977, applies to a fully service land lease with a base term of one year and four one-year renewal options, potentially extending the lease to five years, contingent upon annual appropriations and written notice from the Government. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where offers must first satisfy mandatory technical criteria—site size, location within the specified radius, and uninterrupted 24/7 access—before cost per acre becomes the sole determining factor. The site must accommodate a minimum of ten parking spaces, comply with local building, fire, and safety codes, and meet ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 standards for usable area measurement, with final acceptance requiring a Certificate of Occupancy or equivalent local certification. The lessee is responsible for constructing and delivering the space according to approved Design Intent Documents and must ensure all personnel on site are U.S. citizens who pass a fingerprint-based criminal background check. Contractual obligations include adherence to FAR clauses regarding equal opportunity for workers with disabilities and veteran employment reporting, restrictions on subcontracting with debarred entities, and financial compliance with SAM registration requirements, including valid UEI and CAGE codes. Subcontract awards over $35,000 require exclusion status disclosure, and subcontracts exceeding $500,000 necessitate certified cost or pricing data. The Government retains audit rights and will make payments via electronic funds transfer based on SAM registration data, with no explicit invoicing system specified. No contract value is stated, and no line-item pricing or appropriation codes are provided in the solicitation.
