The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify capable sources for leasing approximately 6,500 usable square feet of contiguous, ADA-compliant space on no more than one floor for a Community Based Outpatient Clinic in the Carmel, NY area. The space must fall within a specific delineated area in Carmel and meet VA life safety codes, with either new construction or modernization of an existing building considered. A 10-year modified gross lease will be considered, with the VA responsible only for its own janitorial services. The government is seeking input from SDVOSB, VOSB, and open market sources to determine whether the acquisition should be set aside or fully competitive. Interested parties must provide a capabilities statement and expression of interest, including evidence of experience, bonding capacity, and financing capability, but no budget amount is specified.
