providing a standard GSA warm lit shell.

The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous.
The Government will use the information it receives in response to this
advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis and to determine
whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to
remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will
consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially
can satisfy the Government’s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred
through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant
improvements and telecommunication infrastructure, and nonproductive agency
downtime.
The Government’s decision regarding whether to relocate will be based, in part,
on information received in response to this notification. In the event that a
potentially acceptable offer fails to provide required information as part of its
response to this notification, the Government reserves the right to assume that
the building in question cannot meet the Government’s requirements.
This procurement will be subject to all the rules, regulations, conditions, and
specifications stated in the Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) package that will
be sent out pursuant to this advertisement.
At this time, the Government is only considering existing buildings, and will not
consider new construction options.
Entities are advised to familiarize themselves with the telecommunications
prohibitions outlined under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA), as implemented by the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR). ). For more information, visit: https://acquisition.gov/FARCase-
