What the government is buying

The U.S. government is seeking to lease office and related space in Ogden, Utah. This is a real estate leasing acquisition conducted by the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service, which handles federal workspace procurement nationwide.

The lease is being coordinated through GSA's Center for Broker Services, the component that manages commercial real estate transactions to secure office, industrial, and related space for federal agencies. NAICS 531120 covers lessors of non-residential buildings (except miniwarehouses), the standard classification for commercial office leasing.

Federal lease procurements typically run 5-10 years with firm-term and optional extension periods. The government usually requires build-out to federal standards, including security features, accessibility compliance, and sustainable building certifications. Specific square footage, term length, and agency tenant requirements are not included in the available metadata.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is a full and open procurement with no small-business set-aside, meaning any responsible lessor—large or small—may compete. Small-business owners who own or control non-residential commercial property in or near Ogden remain eligible to bid despite the absence of a set-aside.

Prospective offerors must have suitable property available or developable within the Ogden area. GSA leasing actions typically require brokers or lessors to register in GSA's eOffer/eMod system and maintain active SAM.gov registration with appropriate NAICS representations.

If you are a small lessor competing against larger entities, consider whether your property offers proximity advantages to federal buildings, existing federal tenants, or transportation corridors. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements with other property owners may strengthen competitive position if your individual holdings are insufficient.

How to put together a competitive bid

For federal lease competitions, success depends on property specifics, pricing methodology, and responsiveness to evaluation criteria.

Property requirements: Ensure your building or developable site matches GSA's typical priorities—efficient floorplates, security perimeters, parking ratios, and proximity to public transit or major highways. Federal tenants often require Specific Agency Security requirements; see the solicitation for applicable standards.

Pricing structure: GSA lease solicitations require detailed rent schedules, typically showing annual escalations and operating expense treatments. Offerors must understand the GSA pricing models, including shell rates, operating expense base years, and tax treatment provisions. Unusually low pricing may trigger responsibility concerns; pricing must be sustainable for lease performance.

Technical proposal elements: Standard GSA lease evaluations examine location, project team experience, financial capacity, and past performance with federal or comparable commercial leases. Specific evaluation factors and their relative weights see the solicitation.

Small-business considerations: Without a set-aside, emphasize operational efficiency, local market knowledge, and responsiveness to government needs. Document any small-business status for subcontracting credit if the solicitation includes such evaluation elements.
