View moreThe Government intends to procure this requirement under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) because “the property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency.” The CFTC requires office space beginning October 1, 2027, and there is no other property that could satisfy the CFTC’s needs by that date.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS or a solicitation of offers. However, the Government will consider written responses from all responsible sources received by 5PM ET, June 20, 2026. Written responses must include sufficient information to establish the capability to fulfill the requirement. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of future Market Research requirements. No formal solicitation package is available. The Government anticipates award on or about September 30, 2026. The Government will not be responsible for any costs of preparation in response to this announcement.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) intends to negotiate and award a five-year, sole-source lease to Beacon Capital Partners, doing business as LCPC Lafayette Property LLC, for its existing headquarters located at 1155 21st St. NW, Washington, DC 20581. This requirement, identified under solicitation number CFTCHQLease, covers 289,295 rentable square feet. The new firm-term lease is necessary because the current lease expires on September 30, 2027, which does not provide sufficient time to competitively award, design, and build out a new long-term headquarters. The agency determined that its previous planned location at 355 E St SW was insufficient for its needs, and maintaining the current footprint ensures adequate space for staff growth and avoids operational disruptions.
This procurement is classified under PSC X1AA for the lease or rental of office buildings and NAICS 531120 for lessors of nonresidential buildings (except miniwarehouses). There is no set-aside for this action, designated as set-aside NONE. The CFTC is utilizing its independent leasing authority under 7 U.S.C. § 16(b)(3) and intends to proceed under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as the existing property is the only source capable of satisfying the agency’s requirement by the October 1, 2027, start date.
The government anticipates making an award on or about September 30, 2026. While this pre-solicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the CFTC will consider written capability statements from responsible sources received by 5:00 PM ET on June 20, 2026. Benjamin Van Wormer is the designated point of contact for this notice, which currently includes zero attachments. All information received will be used solely for the purpose of future market research.
