Description
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is preparing to acquire a new 20‑year lease for an outpatient clinic facility in Lowell, Massachusetts. The intended space is roughly 36,814 authorized budgetary office (ABOA) square feet, with a maximum rentable area of 38,401 SF and up to 95 parking spaces. The VA is issuing a pre‑solicitation Notice of Intent to Sole Source and soliciting market‑research submissions from property owners or managers who can provide alternative sites that meet the VA’s operational, zoning, flood‑plain, safety, and utility criteria. Submissions are due by early August 2026, after which the VA will decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement or award the lease to the incumbent lessor.
• Facility type: outpatient clinic (medical/health‑care).
