HOW TO OFFER

The Leasing Portal (https://leasing.gsa.gov/ ) enables parties to offer space for lease to the Federal Government for the FY25 AAAP RLP. Interested parties must register on the site by selecting the Registration/Register link and following registration instructions. Helpful resources, including instructional guides and video tutorials, are available on the site under Resources.

The Open Period runs from the 1st through the 7th of each month, ending at 7:30 p.m. (ET), with adjustments made if the 7th falls on a weekend or federal holiday. During this period, offerors can submit new offers or modify existing offers. No submissions are accepted during the Closed Period.

Lease award will be made to the lowest price, technically acceptable offer without negotiations. The offered space must comply with Federal Government, State, and Local jurisdiction requirements, including standards for fire and life safety, security, accessibility, seismic, and energy considerations.

For returning offerors who submitted proposals in FY 2024, the Leasing Portal offers a copy feature to streamline application. However, users must carefully review the FY25 RLP Package, as some questions have changed, and space and rates must be manually re-entered.
