How to bid on Keller office space for the U.S. Army

What the Army is seeking

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking a lessor for about 4,508 square feet of usable retail or office space within a quarter mile of 750 S Main St. in Keller, Texas, ZIP code 76248.

The space needs a secondary exit, visible signage, daytime janitorial service, parking for 12 government vehicles at all times, and employee and customer parking within four blocks. This is a facilities lease opportunity for property owners or firms able to provide suitable space.

Deadline and evaluation

Complete initial and final offers are due by October 30, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. ET. The solicitation says offers must be received by that deadline.

The Army will consider location, ability to meet construction specifications, security measures and lease requirements, competitive costs in the government’s best interest, and qualitative ratings by the client for the mission.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity may suit a commercial property owner or lessor with retail or office space near the specified Keller address and the ability to meet the parking, access, signage, janitorial, construction, security, and lease requirements.

The solicitation says sites adjacent to certain businesses, including adult entertainment shops, nightclubs or bars, methadone clinics, drug rehabilitation centers, marijuana or hemp dispensaries, gun shops, and liquor stores, could potentially be eliminated from competition.

How to access the bid and submit

Use “View original source” on the opportunity page to open the solicitation. If the first click lands on the portal homepage, click it again to go to the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents, though some bids can be viewed without one.

Review the lease, general conditions, construction specifications, janitorial specifications, rental proposal worksheet, and SAM registration instructions. Submit a completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of active SAM.gov registration (such as an active CAGE code), and the existing floor plan by the deadline.

Prepare a complete, competitive offer

Check the existing floor plan against the requested usable area, secondary exit, parking needs, and visibility. Review every attached document carefully, especially the construction specifications and lessor responsibilities.

The solicitation says the first four lease pages have negotiable terms, while the general conditions are standard and must be accepted as written. Leases are negotiated for five years but allow government termination with reasonable notice; five-year firm-term leases are generally not considered, and the solicitation says a significant build-out contribution is requested to incorporate firm term years.

Confirm SAM.gov registration is active before the submission deadline, complete the worksheet carefully, and allow time to deliver the full offer before 5:30 p.m. ET.
