X1AA--Jacksonville Vet Center Superseding

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to supersede its existing lease for the Jacksonville Vet Center in Jacksonville, North Carolina, with a new 20-year lease term consisting of a five-year firm fixed-price period followed by a fifteen-year soft term. The space requirement is precisely defined as 7,780 square feet of office space within a bounded area bounded by US-17 to the north and west, SR-24 to the south, and Piney Green to the east. Occupancy of the facility is required no later than February 1, 2027, and all services, supplies, utilities, and tenant alterations must be included in the rental consideration. The agency is evaluating whether to continue with the current lessor at 221 Memorial Drive, Jacksonville, NC 28546, through a sole source acquisition, or to consider alternative locations if they prove more economically viable, factoring in all associated costs including relocation and tenant improvements. This procurement is being conducted under NAICS code 531190 as a sources-sought notice under other than full and open competition, with responses due by June 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. All expressions of interest must be submitted via email to Shawana Stevens, Lease Contracting Specialist, at shawana.stevens@va.gov, and no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed specification documents are included in this notice, as the intent is to gauge industry interest prior to proceeding with a potential sole source lease.
