Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.
Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS SEEKING PROPOSALS FOR AVAILABLE COMMERCIAL OFFICE SPACE FOR LEASE OR FOR SALE IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. This is an Announcement for Proposals (AFP) seeking proposals from Offerors (herein, “Offeror(s)”) for the acquisition of commercial office space for purchase or lease within the District of Columbia. This AFP sets forth the requirements of NASA, instructions for submitting proposals, and the criteria for NASA’s evaluation of proposals and selection of an awardee. Responses conforming to the AFP requirements will be evaluated in accordance with the Factors set forth herein to select an Offeror for award. NASA will award the Lease or Purchase to the selected Offeror, subject to the conditions herein. This action is being undertaken pursuant to NASA’s independent authority under 51 U.S.C. §20113(c)). All AFP responses must be submitted via email to hq-realestate@mail.nasa.gov no later than 5:00 pm Eastern Time on August 28, 2026; late submissions will not be accepted or reviewed. Each building should limit itself to one (1) response that includes all options available, and building tours may be scheduled after a review of the AFP response. NASA Headquarters currently occupies approximately 450,000 rentable square feet (RSF) of leased office space at 300 E Street SW, Washington, DC with a lease expiration date of August 2028. NASA is currently seeking a building with no less than 225,000 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) and 200 parking spaces for occupancy prior to its current lease expiration. This AFP is being issued to obtain offers from building owners and authorized representatives that are interested in proposing acquisition options within the District of Columbia. Updates made as of August 5, 2026: Q&A uploaded in response to inquires from potential offerors. Updated AFP Comparison Doc showing changes made to AFP Document

Ambiguities and requirements worth clarifying, written as questions you can send before the deadline.
