US GOVERNMENT SEEKS SOURCES FOR LEASED RETAIL AND RELATED SPACE

The U.S. Government is seeking sources for a new leased space in Houston, Texas, specifically in or around the 77030 zip code, to replace existing leased apartments that are nearing expiration. The requirement is for 5,390 square feet of space that must comply with all federal, state, and local regulations as well as Department of Defense force protection standards outlined in the Unified Facility Criteria. The space must be ready for immediate occupancy by October 1, 2026, and cannot be located within the 100-year flood plain. It should include either designated or open parking and be fully equipped to support government operations without requiring significant additional tenant improvements or infrastructure replication. The government intends to secure an initial five-year lease with full services included and will evaluate proposals based on economic advantage, weighing relocation costs such as moving expenses, infrastructure setup, and potential downtime against the benefits of alternative locations. Solicitation number DACA6352600007100 was posted on July 21, 2026, with responses due by August 22, 2026, and is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Fort Worth office under the Department of Defense. Interested parties should submit proposals in response to this sources-sought notice, which does not obligate the government to award a contract but seeks market input on available commercial properties meeting the outlined requirements. All submissions must demonstrate compliance with the specified building, safety, and accessibility standards, and providers are encouraged to include details on lease terms, space configuration, parking availability, and readiness timelines. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Zoe Rodriguez, reachable via email or phone through the Fort Worth office.
