The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a new lease for a Primary Care Annex in West Palm Beach, Florida, under solicitation 36C248-25-R-0031, with a revised response deadline of 3:00 PM ET on July 2, 2026. The lease requires approximately 11,886 to 12,000 assignable square feet of contiguous clinical space located on the ground floor in a prime commercial district, with a building that is new, modernized, or fully rehabilitated, and must be ready for occupancy by April 1, 2026.
