Overview and Objectives The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), under its Enhanced-Use Leasing (EUL) authority (38 U.S.C. §§ 8161- 8169, as amended), is seeking expressions of interest from qualified developers, including SDVOSBs and VOSBs, to serve as a Developer for purposes of developing supportive housing or other uses that directly or indirectly benefit Veterans (e.g., general affordable housing, skilled nursing facilities, technical job training centers, research facilities, mixed-use, other). VA s EUL authority allows VA to outlease land and improvements to selected developers (i.e., Lessees) to provide housing and/or other uses that directly or indirectly benefit Veterans. Such leases can have a term of up to 99 years. VA s Office of Asset Enterprise Management (OAEM) administers the EUL Program. An EUL is a long-term ground lease of underutilized VA-owned land or buildings to a non-federal entity (Developer). Under the EUL program, the Developer secures a long-term leasehold interest with VA for the subject property. This deal structure enables developers to finance, design, develop, renovate/construct, operate, and maintain improvements on VA property to directly or indirectly benefit Veterans. The objective of this development opportunity is to repurpose assets at the Lake Baldwin VA Medical Clinic under VA s EUL Program to the benefit of Veterans. Respondents should consider the following as they formulate responses to this Notice: Lease-back by VA or other Federal government entities is not permissible, and financing cannot reflect a lease-back arrangement. The PACT Act does not nullify 38 U.S.C. § 8162(b)(5), which states, "The terms of an enhanced-use lease may not provide for any acquisition, contract, demonstration, exchange, grant, incentive, procurement, sale, other transaction authority, service agreement, use agreement, lease, or lease-back by the Secretary or Federal Government. VA may only receive cash consideration for ground lease rent in an EUL (per 38 U.S.C. § 8162(b)(3)(B)). This means VA cannot receive any in-kind consideration or free/discounted services as part of a new EUL agreement. However, projects may provide free or discounted services to individual Veterans or Veteran Service Organizations, and the Secretary may enter into an EUL without receiving consideration per U.S.C. § 8162(b)(3)(C). Additional information on the VA s EUL program and sample EUL projects may be obtained at: http://www.va.gov/assetmanagement/. Development Scope The intent of this Notice is to determine if there are experienced developers, including SDVOSB or VOSB developers, that can develop the subject assets in accordance with VA s EUL authority. The Developer would undertake all necessary investigative activities to develop the selected assets at the Lake Baldwin VA Medical Clinic campus. VA is especially interested in development of supportive housing but will also consider other uses that benefit Veterans. The assets that may be redeveloped by a Developer include, but are not limited to, the following interconnected buildings (with current use in parentheses): Building 519 (Domiciliary) Building 519a (Dining / education space in the first floor courtyard) Building 520 (Domiciliary) Building 520a (Domiciliary reception / elevator space in Northwest corner of the interconnected buildings) Building 521 (Domiciliary) Building 522 (Domiciliary) Please see Attachment A for a map of the Campus and Attachment B for asset information and photos. Lake Baldwin VA Clinic Background The Lake Baldwin VA Clinic in Orlando, Florida, traces its origins to a former U.S. Navy facility. In 1968, the Navy took over an Air Force hospital in the Lake Baldwin neighborhood, opening it as Naval Hospital Orlando. By 1995, the Navy closed Naval Hospital Orlando as part of broader base closures. The facility was then transferred to VA and rebranded as the Lake Baldwin VA Clinic. VA originally used the site as part of its outpatient and transitional care network, with some portions serving as labs, treatment spaces, and administrative offices. The 46-acre campus is located at 5201 Raymond Street, Orlando, FL 32803. The Lake Baldwin outpatient clinic offers urgent care, primary care, surgery, and specialty health services, including mental health care, laboratory services, vision care (optometry), pain management, prosthetics, physical therapy, nutrition services, homeless Veteran care, women Veteran care, and more.
