HOW TO OFFER
The Automated Advanced Acquisition Program (AAAP), located at https://lop.gsa.gov/aaap, will enable
interested parties to offer space for lease to the Federal Government in response to the FY23 AAAP
RLP. In addition, the Government will use its AAAP to satisfy the above space requirement.
Offerors must go to the AAAP website, select the “Register to Offer Space” link and follow the
instructions to register. Instructional guides and video tutorials are offered on the AAAP homepage
and in the “HELP” tab on the AAAP website. Once registered, interested parties may enter offers
during any “Open Period”. For technical assistance with AAAP, email LOP.help@gsa.gov.
The Open Period is the 1st through the 7th of each month, ending at 7:30 p.m. (ET) unless otherwise
stated by the Government and unless the 7th falls on a weekend or Federal Holiday. If the 7th falls
on a weekend or Federal Holiday, the Open Period will end at 7:30 PM (ET) on the next business day.
Refer to
AAAP RLP paragraph 3.02.A for more details on the offer submission process. The Government reserves
the right to allow for multiple Open Periods prior to selecting an offer for award to meet this
specific space requirement. Offers cannot be submitted during the Closed Period and will not be
considered for projects executed during that time period.
Lease award will be made to the lowest price, technically acceptable offer, without negotiations,
based upon the requirements in this advertisement and in the RLP requirements package found on the
AAAP website. During an Open Period, offerors will be permitted to submit new offers or modify
existing offers. Offerors can draft an offer at any time; however, you can only submit an offer
during the Open Period.
The offered space must comply with the requirements in this advertisement and the RLP and must meet
Federal Government, State, and Local jurisdiction requirements, including requirements for fire and
life safety, security, accessibility, seismic, energy, and sustainability standards in accordance
with the terms of the Lease. The Lease and all documents that constitute the Lease package can be
found at https://lop.gsa.gov/aaap.
If you have previously submitted an offer in FY 2022, the AAAP application has a copy feature which
will allow existing offers to be copied over to the FY 2023 RLP in order to avoid having to
re-enter all of the data manually. Please be sure to review FY23 AAAP RLP Package and each page
within the AAAP Application prior to submitting your offer as some of the questions have changed.
You must re-enter your space and rates on the ‘Space and Rates’ tab in the AAAP. Your previous
offered space will not be copied.
