The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking to lease office and related space in Cleveland, Ohio, within a specifically delineated geographic area bounded by Front Avenue, West 9th Street, Highway 2, Highway 90, and the Cuyahoga River. The total required area ranges between 105,557 and 110,835 rentable square feet, subdivided into two distinct blocks: Block 1, accommodating approximately 103,263 to 108,426 ABOA square feet mainly for public-facing, daily visitor operations, and Block 2, with 2,294 to 2,409 ABOA square feet, designated for secure law enforcement use including K-9 training bunker storage. The latter block must be situated on a single contiguous floor on the 1st or 2nd floor and adhere to proximity restrictions that prevent adjacency to schools or religious institutions. The lease term is structured for 180 months, including a firm period of 156 months, and requires 24/7 government access to both space and parking. Parking provisions include 36 spaces total, with 18 reserved, secure, covered spaces for government vehicles and 18 visitor spaces as surface or structured parking. The facility must meet stringent physical infrastructure requirements such as a minimum 9-foot ceiling height in office areas, 20-foot on-center spacing of structural elements, secure wiring conduits, and a freight-accessible loading dock. ADA compliance for visitor access, fire safety, seismic standards, sustainability mandates, and floodplain restrictions (no presence in the 1-percent annual chance floodplain) are integral to the lease terms. Compliance with Section 889 of the FY19 NDAA is mandatory, banning prohibited telecommunications equipment. Bidders must be registered in SAM.gov and submit expressions of interest by June 2, 2026, with occupancy aimed for fall 2028. The notice emphasizes the high-security nature of the space to accommodate armed federal law enforcement and canine officers, requiring secure connectivity between floors if Block 1 spans multiple levels. No formal pricing data or specific evaluation factors are provided in the presolicitation, with further coordination directed to designated GSA contracting officers and brokers managing the lease solicitation.
