How to bid on office space lease in Sioux Falls, SD for Public Buildings Service

What the agency is buying

The Public Buildings Service, part of the General Services Administration (GSA), is looking to lease office space in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They need between 1,809 and 1,900 square feet of second-generation office space. This means the space should already have an existing office build-out, requiring minimal construction for tenant improvements.

The lease term is 15 years, with 13 years firm. The GSA is seeking space that includes specific layouts: three offices, three workstations, a LAN room with 24/7 climate control, a reception area, a conference room, and a training room. One surface, on-site parking space for official government vehicles is also required. The GSA may accept offers that include existing systems furniture and furnishings at no additional cost.

Proposals must be submitted through the GSA's online Leasing Portal. The portal has an 'Open Period' for submissions from the 1st through the 7th of each month. The current deadline for this specific opportunity is August 07, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. If the 7th falls on a weekend or Federal Holiday, the Open Period will end at 8:00 PM ET on the next business day. No submissions are accepted during the 'Closed Period'.

Tips for a competitive response

Ensure your offered space strictly adheres to the minimum and maximum square footage requirements and is located within the specified delineated area in Sioux Falls. Since the GSA is seeking 'second-generation office space requiring minimal construction,' highlight how your property meets this condition, emphasizing existing build-outs and systems.

Clearly detail how your space can accommodate the desired layout, including the number and size of offices, workstations, and specialized rooms like the LAN room and training room. While furniture is not required, if you can offer clean, good-working-order existing systems furniture at no additional cost, it may support timely occupancy. Finally, be prepared to comply with all Federal, State, and Local requirements, including fire and life safety, accessibility, seismic resilience, and energy efficiency standards. Begin your SAM registration as soon as possible if you are not already registered.
