X1DB--NW Metro (Rio Rancho, NM) CBOC Lease (New)

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to lease an existing building in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, with a minimum of 32,531 rentable square feet to establish a Community Based Outpatient Clinic. The facility must be located within a defined geographic boundary bounded by King Boulevard to the north, Paseo del Volcan NE to the south, Civic Center Cir NE to the east, and Unser Boulevard to the west. The building must be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards, and must meet the Interagency Security Committee Security Design Criteria for federal office buildings along with other security guidelines to be provided during the solicitation process. Leases of up to ten years will be considered, and the VA requires the space to be ready for occupancy with buildout already completed or planned as part of the lease agreement. The solicitation, numbered 36C24W26R0016, was posted on May 7, 2026, with proposals due by June 30, 2026, and is open to all offerors with no set-aside provisions. The NAICS code 531120 applies, and the procurement is governed by FAR and GSAR clauses including those related to small business utilization, subcontracting plans, debarment, and security requirements. Offerors must provide a unique entity ID and CAGE code, and are required to disclose size status and socioeconomic certifications, with certain affirmative responses triggering additional reporting obligations under federal supply chain security rules. Evaluation of proposals will be based on a best-value trade-off approach, prioritizing technical quality—including building design, spatial functionality, compliance with agency requirements, and integration of healing environments—followed by financial capability, operations and maintenance plans, and past performance, particularly in VA or federal medical facilities. Price is a secondary consideration unless technical proposals are closely matched. Attachments required include floor plans, parking plans, security requirements, tenant improvement and cost lists, seismic compliance forms, wage determinations, and approved subcontracting plans. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site upon substantial completion, verification of design conformance, and receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy or equivalent safety certification, with all deficiencies corrected before final acceptance. Performance is limited to the physical leased premises, and no FOB terms or detailed pricing line items are provided, though the contract value is expected to exceed $6 million given applicable FAR thresholds. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the specified deadline and include signed documentation
