GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION.PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE.PBS R00 CENTER FOR BROKER SERVICES · Response deadline: Fri, 04 Dec 2026
What the government is buying
The General Services Administration (GSA) is soliciting lease proposals for commercial space in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The space will be used as a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). CBOCs provide primary care, mental health services, and other outpatient services to eligible veterans in community settings outside of VA medical centers.
This is a direct lease acquisition under GSA's delegated leasing authority for VA healthcare facilities. GSA typically acts as the lessor on behalf of tenant agencies, contracting directly with property owners or developers for built-to-suit or existing commercial space.

Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible sources with no small business set-aside identified in the metadata. Eligible offerors must have:
- Commercial real estate ownership or long-term lease rights to property meeting VA CBOC requirements in Philadelphia
- Financial capacity to execute a long-term government lease, typically 10-20 years for VA healthcare facilities
- Experience with federally compliant leases, including adherence to GSA's pricing methodologies (replacement cost or prevailing market rate formulas)
While no set-aside applies, see the solicitation for any subcontracting goals or other socioeconomic preferences that may apply. Firms structured as lessors of nonresidential buildings (NAICS 531120) should evaluate whether their portfolio includes suitable existing space or development parcels.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand VA CBOC operational requirements. CBOCs have specific clinical, accessibility, and security needs: exam rooms, laboratory space, mental health counseling suites, parking ratios, and compliance with VA design standards and The Joint Commission guidelines. See the solicitation for square footage, layout requirements, and proximity specifications to veteran populations.
Structure your lease proposal around GSA's pricing framework. GSA direct leases use standardized rent calculations rather than open market negotiation. Be prepared to document operating cost bases, real estate tax treatment, and any tenant improvement allowances. The GSA typically requires firm pricing for the base term with structured escalation clauses.
Address build-out and delivery timelines. If proposing existing space, clarify vacancy status and readiness for VA tenant improvements. If proposing construction or renovation, detail scheduling with milestones tied to lease commencement and rent commencement dates.
Submit complete SF 1364 or GSA lease proposal documentation. GSA lease proposals require specific forms, evidence of title or leasehold interest, site control documentation, and financial qualifications. Missing elements commonly cause technical rejection.
Engage broker representation if needed. The Center for Broker Services coordinates with licensed real estate professionals; confirm any registration requirements in the solicitation.
