How to bid on office space leases for the GSA in Port Angeles or Sequim, WA
What the GSA is buying and why it matters to vendors
The General Services Administration (GSA) is looking to lease office space in either Port Angeles or Sequim, Washington. They need between 2,212 and 3,000 square feet of office space, along with 12 surface parking spaces. This is a significant opportunity for property owners or lessors in the specified areas, as the GSA requires a 15-year lease, including a 10-year firm term.
The space must meet various government requirements, including standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic resilience, and sustainability. It also needs to be located outside of the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. The GSA requires a fully serviced lease, meaning the lessor will be responsible for all operating costs.
