Additional Notes
This is a market survey, not a solicitation for offers or a request for proposals. A formal solicitation may be issued later. The Government will conduct a market survey of offered properties and is considering alternative space if economically advantageous. The VA is limited by law to pay no more than the appraised fair rental value for space. The current requirement is housed in an existing leased space.
