Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its RPO WEST office, is soliciting proposals for a new lease of approximately 24,000 to 24,096 ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area (ABOA) square feet for a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The VA requires an existing space with buildout, meeting stringent accessibility, security, and design standards. Proposals are due by May 20, 2026, at 4 PM PST.
Opportunity Details
This Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) seeks a modern, sound, and substantial building to house a new VA CBOC. The facility must be fully accessible (ADA, UFAS compliant) and adhere to Interagency Security Committee Security Design Criteria (FSL II). The required location is within a delineated area bounded by King Boulevard (North), Paseo del Volcan NE (South), Civic Center Circle NE (East), and Unser Boulevard (West). The opportunity is open competition, with considerations for small businesses, including a price evaluation preference for HUBZone concerns.
Space Requirements
The leased space must provide 24,000 to 24,096 ABOA SF (or minimum 32,531 RSF as per general description) and include 140 structured or surface parking spaces. Specific requirements include potential roof access for antennas, a 250 ABOA SF vending facility, and dedicated HVAC for medication cabinets and IT closets. The building must be in a prime commercial district with amenities and public transit access. Compliance with seismic safety, asbestos-free conditions, fire protection, life safety, and ENERGY STAR efficiency standards is mandatory. Detailed design specifications for clinic spaces, including a Room Data Matrix and planning modules, are provided in the appendices.
Lease Terms & Conditions
The VA seeks a lease term of up to ten (10) years, with five (5) years firm, and retains termination rights with 90 days' notice. The lease agreement will incorporate comprehensive general clauses (Exhibit E, Apr. 2026) covering performance, payment, conduct, adjustments, audits, disputes, labor standards, small business, and cybersecurity. The Lessor will be responsible for all maintenance, janitorial services, and site management, requiring an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) plan and adherence to a Lessor Performance Scorecard.
Submission & Evaluation
Offerors must submit proposals by May 20, 2026, at 4 PM PST via email to Misty.Pham@va.gov. The award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government, with technical merit being more important than price. Key evaluation factors include Technical Quality (building design, layout, functionality), Offeror's Qualifications and Past Performance, Operations and Maintenance Plan, and Past Projects. Required forms include GSA Form 1364 (Proposal to Lease Space), GSA Form 1217 (Lessor's Annual Cost Statement), GSA Form 12000 (Prelease FPLS Evaluation), seismic compliance forms, and FAR 52.204-24 (telecommunications representation). Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov.
Key Documents & Compliance
Bidders must review the Global Request for Lease Proposals (RLP Template R100_Feb. 2026), the Global Lease Template (L100_Mar. 2026), and various exhibits and appendices. These documents detail specific requirements for build-out (Agency Specific Requirements), security (FSL Level II), safety, fire protection, environmental management, janitorial services, and design narratives. Compliance with federal regulations, including those related to telecommunications equipment (FAR 52.204-24), is essential.
