Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a succeeding lease for the Detroit Vet Center to NY Jefferson LLC for premises located at Jefferson Village, 11214 E Jefferson, Detroit, MI 48214. This award, valued at $274,476.15, secures the facility for a term of 10 years, with 2 years firm.
Purpose of Award
This award notice confirms the VA's action to secure a succeeding lease for the Detroit Vet Center. The decision to proceed with a non-competitive award was made after extensive market research and previous solicitations failed to yield competitive offers. The VA determined that relocation and duplication costs would not be recovered through full and open competition, and the agency's mission required the unique location provided by the incumbent.

Rationale for Non-Competitive Award
A "Memo to File" dated February 12, 2026, justified the lack of competition, noting that the anticipated annual rent met the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT). Market research conducted in November 2025, including an SBA DSBS search and a Sources Sought Notice (posted November 5, 2025, due November 19, 2025), received no responses. Previous competitive solicitations (RLP 36C25023R0018 and 36C25025R0005) also failed to attract acceptable offers. The incumbent lessor had expressed interest and demonstrated adequate performance under the previous lease.
Key Requirements (as previously sought)
The VA had sought space between 3767 and 4000 Rentable Square Feet, requiring 25 parking spaces, within a delineated area in Detroit. The location needed proximity to public transportation, amenities, a hospital, and easy access to major highways, while avoiding incompatible uses. The awarded lease fulfills these requirements.
Set-Aside
This award was made on a non-competitive basis due to a lack of competitive offers following market research, which had explored potential set-asides for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) concerns.
