GSA Now Accepting Offers for the Former DOE Information Operations and Research Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho

AUBURN, WA – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is currently accepting sealed bid offers for the former U.S. Department of Energy Information Operations and Research Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The property is located just east of the Idaho Falls Airport at 1155 Foote Drive. It covers about 4.66 acres, and includes a 37,844-square-foot, single-story building and paved parking lot with approximately 175 parking spaces.  
      
To learn more about the property and GSA’s auction process, including how to download the Invitation for Bid document, visit realestatesales.gov. Sealed Bids must be received by Tuesday, February 15th at 2:30 pm CST.  

Interested parties are invited to view the property in person at an open house event on Thursday, February 10th from 8:30 to 11:30 am MST.  Licensed real estate professionals may be eligible for a 1% finder’s fee that would potentially be paid at closing.

This sale supports the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act (P.L. 114-287) High Value Property list. The FAST Act was passed by Congress in 2016 to facilitate the disposal of unutilized or under-utilized federal assets. The Act created the Public Buildings Reform Board, which, when formed, began requesting property information from federal agencies to identify high value properties that could be taken directly to sale to generate at least $500,000,000 in proceeds.  The proceeds will be used to perform the necessary due diligence to make other properties available for disposal. 

The disposal of the Idaho Falls property is part of a larger strategy to evaluate underutilized assets, and shrink the federal footprint. Learn more at gsa.gov.
