How to bid on the Armed Forces Career Center lease for the Army
What the Army is seeking
The Army is seeking offers to lease about 2,842 square feet of usable retail or office space in Paris, Texas, within a quarter-mile of 3219 NE Loop 286 and in ZIP code 75460.
The space must have a secondary exit, daytime janitorial service, visible signage, and parking for eight government-owned vehicles at all times. Employee and customer parking must be available within four blocks. The lease is negotiated for five years, but the Government may terminate with reasonable notice.
Deadline and what must arrive
The offer deadline is October 30, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Complete initial and final offers must be received by the deadline.
By then, lessors must be registered and active in SAM.gov. Offers must include the completed Rental Proposal Worksheet, proof of active SAM registration such as an active CAGE code, and the existing floor plan.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity suits commercial property owners or lessors with retail or office space near the specified Paris address and the ability to meet the space, parking, signage, janitorial, construction, security, and lease requirements.
The Army says sites next to certain businesses, including bars, gun shops, liquor stores, and drug rehabilitation centers, could be eliminated as non-compatible.

Review the lease, general conditions, construction specifications, janitorial specifications, Rental Proposal Worksheet, and SAM registration instructions. The first four lease pages have negotiable terms; the general conditions are standard, non-negotiable terms. Submit the required offer documents by the stated deadline.
Prepare a complete, competitive offer
Check the property’s location against the stated quarter-mile radius and ZIP code, then verify that the floor plan and proposal address the requested space and every listed requirement. Review the construction specifications closely because they describe additional lessor responsibilities.
Build your pricing carefully and make sure the worksheet is complete and consistent with your proposed lease terms. Consider the Army’s stated evaluation factors: location, compliance with construction, security, and lease requirements, timely complete offers, competitive cost, and the client’s qualitative mission ratings.
