The U.S. Government currently occupies 21,361 ABOA SF of office and related space in a building under lease at 1301 K Street, NW in Washington, DC, that will be expiring on October 31, 2026. The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. The Government will use the information it receives in response to this advertisement as a basis to develop a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether to compete the lease requirement or pursue a sole source justification to remain at its current location. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government’s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure, and non-productive agency downtime.

The Government’s decision regarding whether to relocate will be based, in part, on information received in response to this notification. In the event that a potentially acceptable offer fails to provide required information as part of its response to this notification, the Government reserves the right to assume that the building in question cannot meet the Government’s requirements.

Submission by anyone other than the owner or manager of a property must be accompanied by a letter from the ownership granting permission to make a general offering of space.

Expressions of Interest should include the following:

1) Building name & address

2) Contact information and E-mail address of Lessor’s Representative
