The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice (36C24W24R0016) to identify potential vendors for leasing space for a Vet Center in Chatsworth, CA. The VA seeks a minimum of 4,500 to a maximum of 5,500 rentable square feet of existing office space, with 27 reserved parking spaces, including three ADA-compliant spaces. The lease will be for 20 years with termination rights after five years.
Properties must be located within specified boundaries and not in a 100-year flood plain, nor within a quarter-mile of facilities deemed incompatible, such as liquor stores or correctional facilities. Interested parties must provide specific documentation, including property owner contact information and evidence of compliance with relevant federal requirements.
The notice emphasizes that this is not a solicitation for offers but a request for information to assist in market research, aiming to determine if the acquisition should be set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). Submissions are due by September 23, 2024, with instructions for presentation and requirements for capabilities statements. This document reflects the VA's ongoing commitment to secure appropriate facilities to support veteran services effectively.
