U.S. Government Seeks to Lease Office and Related Space in Wilmington, NC

The U.S. Government, through the General Services Administration’s Pbs Office of Leasing, is soliciting proposals to lease office and related space in Wilmington, North Carolina, under solicitation number 0NC2145-1, with a revised initial offer due date of July 20, 2026. The solicitation, issued under NAICS code 531120 with no set-aside, seeks a long-term lease of 20 years, 15 of which are firm, with the commencement date to be established upon substantial completion and government acceptance of tenant improvements. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the RSAP portal using required forms including GSA Form 1364 (Proposal to Lease Space) and GSA Form 1217 (Lessor’s Annual Cost Statement), which must itemize the fully serviced lease rate per ABOA and RSF, including building shell rental, tenant improvement amortization, building-specific amortized capital, operating costs, and any above-code parking charges. Additional required submissions include seismic compliance forms, ownership evidence, local zoning compliance, and authorization if the offeror is not the property owner. The award will go to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer, evaluated on price, seismic safety, and other factors referenced in the Request for Lease Proposals. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and GSAR clauses addressing security, subcontracting, identity verification, and financial reporting—particularly requiring a small business subcontracting plan and liquidated damages provisions for contracts over $750,000, executive compensation reporting if over $30,000, and personal identity verification for all personnel. Security requirements are heightened due to potential access to Controlled Unclassified Information, mandating compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and 800-88 for electronic transmission, storage, and destruction of CUI, and inclusion of the GSAR 552.270-33 clause on foreign ownership representation. The lease includes subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment provisions, mutual obligation, integrated agreement clauses, and a no-waiver clause. The Government retains the right to terminate the lease after the firm term with 90 days’ notice. Payment terms require invoices to include specific data and are due 30 days after Government acceptance, with acceptance deemed final after seven days unless exceptions such as punchlist items or latent defects arise. Offerors must maintain an active SAM registration
