Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a succeeding lease for approximately 9,500 rentable square feet (RSF) of clinical/medical space in Cottonwood, AZ. This space is for the Cottonwood Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). While the VA intends to negotiate with the incumbent, Cottonwood Industrial LLC, this notice allows other interested parties to propose alternative locations. Responses are due June 10, 2026.
Purpose & Rationale
The VA currently occupies the space under a lease expiring October 6, 2026, and requires continued occupancy for a 10-year term starting September 30, 2026. Market research identified no acceptable alternative properties within the delineated area, leading to the intent to negotiate with the incumbent. The incumbent's anticipated rates have been determined fair and reasonable.

- 9,500 RSF of contiguous space
- Available no later than September 30, 2026
- Located within the delineated Cottonwood, AZ area
