X1DB--SEEKING EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR POTENTIAL LEASE PROCUREMENT (SEE ATTACHMENT)

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation 36C24W26Q0096) to collect Expressions of Interest (EOI) for a lease of approximately 13,000–15,500 ANSI/BOMA square feet (not to exceed 20,000 rentable square feet) for a Community‑Based Outpatient Clinic in Santa Cruz, CA. The space must be located within a defined boundary (bounded by Granite Creek Rd, Highway 1, Highway 17, Soquel Drive, etc.), be on no more than two contiguous floors (with passenger and freight elevators if two floors are offered), and meet all federal and local requirements for fire protection, life‑safety, physical security, accessibility, seismic resilience, and sustainability. The VA will not sublease or enter a ground lease, and occupancy is targeted for December 2027. Interested parties must submit a capabilities statement that includes property owner contact, authority documentation, building address, site map, ingress/egress description, and evidence of compliance (or willingness to upgrade) for floodplain, seismic, ABAAS, fire‑life‑safety, and sustainability standards, as well as three comparable project summaries and financing verification. Only Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) are invited to respond; they must be certified through SBA’s VetCert system. The EOI package is due by 5:00 PM Pacific Time on 13 April 2026, and all submissions should be directed to VA Realty Specialist Caitlin Cunningham (ccunningham@isiwdc.com, 559‑225‑6100). No costs will be reimbursed for this market‑research effort.
