ARMED FORCES CAREER CENTER

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, is soliciting offers for approximately 5,740 usable square feet of commercial retail or office space to house an Armed Forces Career Center in Baytown, Texas. The required space must be located within a delineated area bounded by Wallisville Road to the north, Highway 146 to the south and east, and Wade Road to the west. The facility must include a secondary egress, daytime janitorial services, high-visibility signage, and dedicated 24/7 parking for 21 government-owned vehicles, with additional employee and customer parking available within four blocks. Sites adjacent to non-compatible businesses, such as adult entertainment, bars, or dispensaries, may be eliminated from competition.

This solicitation, identified as W912QR-BAYTOWNTXFY26, is classified under NAICS 531190 for Lessors of Other Real Estate Property and PSC X1AA for Lease/Rental of Office Buildings. The government intends to negotiate a five-year lease term, which includes a clause allowing for government termination upon reasonable notice. Evaluation factors include location, ability to meet construction and security specifications, competitive costs, and qualitative ratings from the client agency. To be considered for a firm term where the government cannot terminate early, lessors are asked to provide a significant contribution toward build-out costs.

Proposals must include a completed rental proposal worksheet, an active SAM.gov registration with a CAGE code, and an existing floor plan. The solicitation package contains nine attachments, including construction and janitorial specifications, proposal worksheets, and lease documents. Monalisa Zewatski serves as the point of contact for this requirement. All final offers must be submitted by 5:30 p.m. on May 5, 2026.
