CFTC Notification of Intent for a lease agreement for current Headquarters location
The CFTC intends to award a sole-source, 5-year firm-term lease for its existing headquarters at 1155 21st St. NW, Washington, DC, covering 289,295 rentable square feet. This interim lease is needed because the current lease expires on September 30, 2027, leaving insufficient time to competitively award and build out a new long-term location. The agency determined that an alternative site at 355 E St SW was insufficient for its needs, and staying put ensures adequate space for new staff and avoids workflow disruptions. The government will consider responses from other sources by 5PM ET, June 20, 2026, but this is not a request for competitive proposals. No budget amount is specified, and performance will occur at the Washington, DC location.
