How to bid on GSA office space in Forest, Mississippi

Public Buildings Service Forest, MSCloses November 2, 2026

What GSA is seeking

The Public Buildings Service is seeking expressions of interest from property owners and authorized representatives for 6,400–6,600 ABOA square feet of office and related space in Forest, Mississippi, with 41 surface parking spaces.

The proposed lease is for 10 years: a 5-year firm term and a 5-year option. The space must meet government fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards and must be outside the 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain. This is an RFI, and the Government is considering alternative space if it is economically advantageous.

Dates and deadline

Expressions of interest are due November 2, 2026. The market survey is estimated for November 5, 2026, and occupancy is estimated for June 12, 2027.

Submit the expression of interest by the stated deadline. The notice does not provide a submission time or explain what happens to late responses.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits owners and authorized representatives of office properties in the stated Forest delineated area: Blossom Hill Road to the west, Highway 80 to the north, Highway 35 to the east, and I-20 to the south.

The notice calls for a customer-facing agency space, preferably on the ground floor. A higher-floor offer may be considered if it has access to at least two ADA elevators. The listed column-spacing requirement is 20 feet from interior, with no more than 2 feet square.

Send the expression of interest to Lease Contracting Officer Adrienne Jackson at [email protected]. Include the building name and address; the authorized representative’s contact information and email; available ABOA and rentable square feet, with floors and areas identified; and the asking full-service rental rate or operating costs, stated for both ABOA and rentable square feet. If you are not the owner or property manager, include the owner’s written consent authorizing you to provide the information.

Prepare a clear property offer

Check that the property’s location and available area fit the notice, and clearly identify each offered floor and its square footage. State the parking count and describe how the property addresses the listed floor, elevator, column-spacing, safety, accessibility, seismic, sustainability, and floodplain conditions.

Present rental rates and operating costs in the requested units, and make clear what is included in the full-service rate. If you are responding as a representative, arrange the written ownership consent before submitting. Keep the response concise and check that all requested information is included.
