How to bid on office space lease for GSA in Parsippany, NJ

What the GSA is buying and why it matters

The General Services Administration (GSA) is looking for existing office buildings in Parsippany, New Jersey, to lease. They need exactly 15,225 ABOA (American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association Office Area) square feet and 88 surface parking spaces. This will be a fully serviced lease for 120 months, with a firm term of 60 months. The government is considering alternative space because their current lease in Parsippany is expiring.

This is an opportunity for property owners or their authorized representatives with suitable existing office buildings in the specified area to secure a long-term lease with the US Government. The GSA will not consider subleases or new construction options for this requirement.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The GSA published this request for expressions of interest on August 26, 2026. All expressions of interest must be submitted by September 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. The GSA plans for occupancy of the selected space by March 1, 2027.

After the deadline, the GSA will review the submitted expressions of interest. This is a presolicitation notice, meaning a formal Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) package will be sent out to suitable respondents later.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for owners or authorized representatives of existing office buildings located within the delineated area in Parsippany, New Jersey. The specific area is bounded by I-10 to the North, I-287 to the East, Hanover Avenue to the South, and I-202 to the West.

The property must be able to provide precisely 15,225 ABOA square feet and 88 surface parking spaces. It must also meet government requirements for fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards. The offered space cannot be in the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain.

How to respond to this request

To respond, you need to send your expression of interest to the GSA Authorized Broker Contractors, Gerrit Voogt and Bill Korchak, via email. Their email addresses are [email protected] and [email protected]. You can also reach them by telephone at 202-805-4423 and 212-812-5818, respectively.

Your expression of interest must include the building name and address, your contact information and email address, the ABOA square feet and rentable square feet available (identifying specific floors), the asking full-service rental rate per ABOA SF and RSF (inclusive of a standard GSA warm-lit shell), and the operating costs per ABOA SF and RSF included in the full-service rates. If you are not the owner or manager, you must include written consent from the ownership granting you authority to provide this information to the Government.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Ensure your property is precisely within the delineated area and meets the exact square footage and parking requirements. Any deviation from these specifics may lead to your submission being overlooked. Double-check all measurements and confirm the availability of the required 88 surface parking spaces.

Clearly itemize all costs as requested, including the full-service rental rate and operating costs per square foot. Provide a detailed breakdown to show transparency and help the GSA evaluate your offer. If you are representing the owner, make sure the written consent from the ownership is explicit and clearly grants you the authority to submit the information.

Familiarize yourself with Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) regarding telecommunications prohibitions, as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Ensure your property and any associated services comply with these regulations. This is a critical compliance point for all government contracts.
