Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible sources without a small business set-aside. Commercial real estate owners, property management companies, and real estate firms of any size may submit offers. Because NAICS 531120 typically has a size standard of $47.5 million in average annual receipts, many office space providers qualify as small businesses—but large businesses may also compete.
Bidders must be prepared to provide:
- Existing or to-be-built commercial office space meeting the square footage requirement
- Compliance with federal leasing regulations and the GSA's requirement for model leases where applicable
- Ability to execute a lease agreement with standard federal provisions
Interested small businesses without direct federal leasing experience may want to partner with established federal lessors or engage a broker familiar with FAR Part 44 and GSA lease requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your property meets baseline requirements. Government office leases typically require compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards, fire and life safety codes, and acceptable parking ratios. See the solicitation for specific condition requirements, acceptable building age limits, and proximity criteria to the Omaha District's project needs.
Structure your offer around the standard lease terms. Federal leases commonly use a firm fixed-price format with annual escalations. Prepare clear documentation of your base rent, operating expenses, real estate taxes, and any tenant improvement allowances. The government may require a shell-and-core delivery with tenant improvements, or a turnkey buildout—see the solicitation.
Understand the evaluation factors. Past performance as a federal lessor, price, and technical acceptability are standard evaluation criteria for leases. If you lack federal past performance, emphasize commercial leasing experience with comparable clients.
Submit through SAM.gov. Ensure your entity is registered in SAM.gov with active status, and maintain current representations and certifications.
