How to bid on Armed Forces Career Center space for the U.S. Army
What the Army is seeking
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking offers to lease about 6,384 square feet of usable retail or office space in ZIP code 79414, within a quarter mile of 5604 Slide Road in Lubbock, Texas.
The space must have a secondary exit, parking for 18 government-owned vehicles at all times, additional parking within four blocks for employees and customers, daytime janitorial service, and visible signage. The agency may eliminate sites next to certain businesses it considers incompatible. The opportunity may suit commercial property owners and lessors with space near the specified location.
Deadline and offer requirements
Offers are due by 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on October 30, 2026. The solicitation calls for complete initial and final offers by the defined deadline.
Lessors must be registered and active in SAM.gov before the final-offer deadline. Offers must include a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of active SAM.gov registration such as an active CAGE code, and the existing floor plan.
Who this opportunity suits
This is a facilities leasing opportunity for a lessor able to offer commercial retail or office space near the specified Lubbock address. A suitable site needs to meet the stated location, parking, exit, janitorial, signage, construction, security, and lease requirements.
Before proceeding, consider the lease terms: leases are negotiated for five years but allow the Government to terminate with reasonable notice. The solicitation says five-year firm-term leases are generally not considered; a lessor seeking firm years is asked to make a significant contribution toward build-out costs.
