X1DB--Amendment to Extend Submission Deadline

The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of leasing approximately 11,241 square feet of space within the Georgetown, Ohio area for use as a Community-Based Outpatient Clinic. The VA is seeking space that is ideally located within a single building, preferably on the first floor, with necessary amenities such as public utilities, proximity to public transportation, and access to major highways. The space must meet specific zoning, floodplain, security, and safety standards, and be free from incompatible nearby uses like correctional facilities or industrial zones. The lease term is anticipated to be up to 20 years, with the government making monthly rental payments and potentially covering tenant improvements. Interested parties, particularly small businesses registered as Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), are encouraged to submit detailed capabilities statements by November 8, 2024. These submissions should include evidence of ownership or authority, past relevant projects, and the ability to finance such a project. The VA emphasizes that this is a market survey and not a solicitation, with responses aiding in determining whether the project will be set aside for SDVOSB or VOSB concerns. The procurement is under NAICS code 531120, with a small business size standard of $34 million, and the government will evaluate submissions to inform future leasing actions, which may include design, construction, and ongoing maintenance for the facility.
