Request for Lease Proposals - U.S. Government Seeks to Lease Office Space in San Juan, Puerto Rico

The U.S. Government, through the General Services Administration’s Pbs R00 Center for Broker Services, is seeking lease proposals for office space in San Juan, Puerto Rico, under Solicitation Number 2PR0143, with proposals due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 24, 2026. The procurement targets a ten-year lease with a potential five-year renewal option for a facility at Lease No. LPR00897, requiring the space to be located on a single floor above ground level, within two blocks of public transportation, and configured as contiguous space. The property must meet stringent construction and operational standards, including full completion of common areas like lobbies, elevators, and stairwells; installation and coordination of HVAC, electrical, and sprinkler systems; and compliance with local building codes, indoor air quality limits for formaldehyde and heavy metals, and fire safety regulations such as a minimum flash point of 140 degrees F for carpet adhesives. The Lessor is responsible for providing utilities, janitorial services, maintenance, and asbestos abatement throughout the lease term, alongside ensuring the facility achieves a Certificate of Occupancy prior to government acceptance. The contract incorporates GSA 3517B General Clauses and multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and GSAR clauses, including requirements for System for Award Management (SAM) registration, small business programs, drug-free workplace standards, anti-kickback procedures, and security protections for Controlled Unclassified Information under Facility Security Level II. Subcontracting plans and liquidated damages provisions apply if the total contract value exceeds $750,000, while veteran employment reporting and equal opportunity obligations are triggered for leases at or above $150,000. Pricing is structured into shell rent, operating costs, tenant improvement amortization, Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC), and parking fees, with full-service annual rent to be determined by offerors and evaluated using present value analysis. Award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer, subject to mandatory pass/fail technical criteria and consideration of seismic safety. The Lessor must provide an onsite representative, comply with GSA’s personal identity verification requirements (HSPD-12), and adhere to cybersecurity controls including network segmentation and system monitoring. Brokers are entitled to a 5% commission of the aggregate lease value, paid in two installments upon award and occupancy or lease commencement.
