The Charles County USDA Office Lease Procurement document outlines specific geographic boundaries for identifying the area of interest related to the procurement. It provides detailed directions delineating the northern, eastern, southern, and western borders, beginning at the intersection of Routes 229 and 227 and outlining a path through several roads including Marshall Corner Rd, Route 301, and Poplar Hill Rd, ultimately returning to the point of origin. This precise identification of boundaries is essential for potential vendors to understand the geographical context and the location of the USDA office that may require leasing services. The document serves as a foundational reference for the procurement process, enabling responses to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) with a clear understanding of the targeted area. This clarity is vital for facilitating effective submissions and ensuring compliance with the USDA’s leasing requirements while supporting the organization's operational needs.
