Offerors are encouraged to submit rates for all terms available in the AAAP for consideration against future GSA requirements.

AGENCY UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS
Agency Tenant Improvement Allowance:
Existing leased space: $X.XX per ABOA SF
Other locations offered: $55.42 per ABOA SF
Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC):
Existing leased space: $X.XX per ABOA SF
Other locations offered: $12.00 per ABOA SF
Agency Unique Requirements:
1. Offered space must be above ground and contiguous on one (1) floor.
2. Prior to lease award, offeror may be required to provide a test-fit to determine efficiency of layout. AAAP RLP Paragraph 2.01 “Efficiency of Layout”.
3. Offered space cannot be in a building that houses any type of law enforcement entities.
4. Offered buildings/properties are subject to a risk/vulnerability assessment. The outcome of the assessment may result in the building not being technically compliant.
The Government anticipates that the Tenant Improvement buildout for this requirement may exceed the allowance by approximately $55.00 per ABOA SF. The Government will use the TI Allowance as stated above in evaluating the TI rent component of offers; however, this does not preclude the Government from consideration of move-related replications costs in the evaluation, as outlined under RLP 25RE00 Paragraph 4.04 “Present Value Price Evaluation (AAAP Variation).” The disclosure of this potential overage is not intended to be construed as an estimate of move-related replications costs. Also, it is not intended to serve as either an accurate estimate or an agreement by the Government as to the final pricing of the TI work, nor is it a commitment by the Government as to the level of TI work that eventually will be required.
This disclosure is only intended to assist Offerors in understanding their potential obligation with respect to financing the full amount of Tenant improvements, as outlined under the Lease Paragraph 1.06 “Tenant Improvement Rental Adjustment (AAAP Variation).
IMPORTANT NOTES
Check the attachments and links section of this notice for possible, additional project-specific requirements or modifications to the RLP.
Offerors are advised to familiarize themselves with the telecommunications prohibitions outlined under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as implemented by Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR). For more information, visit: https://acquisition.gov/FAR-Case-2019- 009/889_Part_B
Offerors are advised that all Shell work associated with delivering the Tenant Improvements are at the

It is highly recommended that offerors start the SAM registration process directly following the offer
submission. Refer to RLP Clause 3.06.
(If applicable) The Government intends to award a Lease to an Offeror of a Building that is in compliance
with Seismic Standards. Section 2.03 of the Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) outlines compliance
activities required for all leases in moderate or high seismic zones. To determine if your property lies in a
moderate or high zone, please reference the map and documents on our website.
HOW TO OFFER
The Automated Advanced Acquisition Program (AAAP), located at https://leasing.gsa.gov/, will enable
interested parties to offer space for lease to the Federal Government in response to the FY25 AAAP RLP.
In addition, the Government will use its AAAP to satisfy the above space requirement.
Offerors must go to the AAAP website, select the “Register to Offer Space” link and follow the instructions
to register. Instructional guides and video tutorials are offered on the AAAP homepage and in the “HELP”
tab on the AAAP website. Once registered, interested parties may enter offers during any “Open Period”.
For technical assistance with AAAP, email LOP.help@gsa.gov.
The Open Period is the 1st through the 7th of each month, ending at 7:30 p.m. (ET) unless otherwise
stated by the Government and unless the 7th falls on a weekend or Federal Holiday. If the 7th falls on a
weekend or Federal Holiday, the Open Period will end at 7:30 PM (ET) on the next business day. Refer to
AAAP RLP paragraph 3.02 for more details on the offer submission process. The Government reserves
the right to allow for multiple Open Periods prior to selecting an offer for award to meet this specific space
requirement. Offers cannot be submitted during the Closed Period and will not be considered for projects
executed during that time period.
Lease award will be made to the lowest price, technically acceptable offer, without negotiations, based
upon the requirements in this advertisement and in the RLP requirements package found on the AAAP
website. During an Open Period, offerors will be permitted to submit new offers or modify existing offers.
Offerors can draft an offer at any time; however, you can only submit an offer during the Open Period.
The offered space must comply with the requirements in this advertisement and the RLP and must meet
Federal Government, State, and Local jurisdiction requirements, including requirements for fire and life
safety, security, accessibility, seismic, energy, and sustainability standards in accordance with the terms
of the Lease. The Lease and all documents that constitute the Lease package can be found at
https://leasing.gsa.gov/leasing/s/AAAP-PortalHome.
If you have previously submitted an offer in FY 2024, the AAAP application has a copy feature which will
allow existing offers to be copied over to the FY 2025 RLP in order to avoid having to re-enter all of the
data manually. Please be sure to review FY25 AAAP RLP Package and each page within the AAAP
Application prior to submitting your offer as some of the questions have changed. You must re-enter your
space and rates on the ‘Space and Rates’ tab in the AAAP. Your previous offered space will not be
copied.
