Proposals are due by June 9, 2026.
Scope of Work
This opportunity is for the lease of office space in a delineated area within Washington State, specifically described by a route starting from I-405 and SR-167. The space must be Facility Security Level (FSL) II and offer transit accessibility within a 0.5-mile walkable radius. The required space breakdown includes:
- Offices: Twelve (12) at 100 ABOA SF each, one (1) at 120 ABOA SF.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in a "Technically Unacceptable" finding.
