Notice of Intent to Exercise Renewal Option

The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health (NIH), intends to exercise a renewal option for an existing lease agreement for biomedical research space located in Phoenix, Arizona. The renewal will cover a five-year term, commencing on August 26, 2025, and concluding on August 25, 2030, with an estimated total base rent of $3.8 million. This facility is crucial for ongoing biomedical research activities, and the NIH will not consider alternative properties at this time; however, interested parties may submit capability statements by January 22, 2025, to demonstrate their ability to meet the government's requirements. For further inquiries, Eric Rogers, the Lease Contracting Officer, can be contacted at eric.rogers@nih.gov or by phone at 301-443-7245.
