How to respond to the Air Force’s Concord coworking space RFI
What the Air Force is exploring
The Department of the Air Force is seeking expressions of interest for a potential short-term commercial coworking space contract supporting its Enterprise IT as a Service program. This is a request for information, not a solicitation, and does not commit the agency to award a contract.
The space sought is roughly 30,000 square feet near Concord, Massachusetts, with at least 190 workstations, meeting and collaboration areas, parking, and a dedicated private office for authorized Air Force personnel. The described services also include IT support, building administration, utilities, network services, and equipment maintenance.
Response deadline and what it means
Responses are due by 12:00 PM EDT on October 27, 2026. The notice’s published deadline field lists November 2, 2026, but the full description says responses are due October 27; vendors should use the October 27 date when planning their response.
This RFI is for market research, not a competition for award. The agency anticipates it may award a contract in summer 2027, with a projected performance start date of August 2, 2027. If the Air Force later issues a solicitation, it will consider only bidders actively registered on SAM.gov at that time.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity may suit coworking operators, commercial property owners, and facilities firms that can provide a large shared office environment near Concord, along with the requested workstations, meeting spaces, parking, and building services.
The notice identifies NAICS 531120 and PSC X1AB. Firms should assess whether they can meet the space, IT support, security, and operational needs described in the notice and its draft Performance Work Statement.
How to access the notice and respond
Use “View original source” on the portal to open the opportunity. If the first click takes you to the portal homepage, click it again to go directly to the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents, though many opportunities do not require one.
Email the response by the stated deadline to Contract Specialists Steven C. Bodnar and Andrew C. St. Maurice at the email addresses provided in the notice. State whether you believe you can meet all requirements. If you cannot meet all of them, identify which requirements you can and cannot meet. Where possible, describe suitable property or properties and your interest in them.
Prepare a clear, useful response
Review the draft Performance Work Statement and organize your response around its requirements. Be specific about space, capacity, parking, private areas, meeting rooms, IT support, and building services, and distinguish confirmed capabilities from anything uncertain.
If proposing a property, explain how it fits the requested location and operational needs. Address any requirements you cannot meet directly rather than implying full compliance, and allow time to check the email recipients and submit before the response deadline.
