How to bid on office space leasing for the General Services Administration
What the GSA is buying and why it matters
The General Services Administration (GSA) is looking to lease office space in Missoula, Montana. They need between 7,462 and 7,835 ABOA square feet of office space. This lease would be for a 10-year term, with a firm term of 5 years.
The GSA also requires 62 parking spaces. This includes 18 reserved spaces for government vehicles and 44 unreserved spaces for customers. The space must meet federal standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability, and must not be in the 1-percent-annual floodplain. This is an opportunity for property owners in the Missoula area to secure a long-term lease with a federal agency.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is August 14, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET. It is important to submit your interest before this time. The estimated occupancy for the leased space is May 2, 2028.
After the expressions of interest are received, a market survey is estimated to occur around August 3, 2026. This process helps the GSA evaluate potential properties that meet their requirements.

The delineated area includes North: MT Highway 200, East: MT Highway 200 through Bonner, South: US Highway 93 South through Lolo, and West: Frenchtown Road / Frenchtown.

Practical tips for a competitive response
When preparing your expression of interest, clearly state how your property meets all the GSA's requirements, including the specific square footage, parking spaces (reserved and unreserved), and location within the delineated area. Highlight any features that align with federal standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability.
Ensure your property is not located in the 1-percent-annual floodplain. Familiarize yourself with the telecommunications prohibitions under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as this is a key compliance point for federal contracts. Providing a comprehensive and well-organized response that addresses all stated requirements will make your submission more competitive.
