Project Description:
This procurement is an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) opportunity at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. The project property is located at the southern end of Seavey Island. It is approximately one mile from downtown Portsmouth, NH and 50 miles north of Boston, MA. The EUL is a real estate lease for Building 93, the former Portsmouth Naval Prison, containing approximately 265,000 square feet of space, and approximately 11.61 acres of related land at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The initial lease term shall not exceed 50 years. However, the Navy may enter into a succeeding lease of the same or similar term conditioned upon the lessee’s satisfactory performance under the initial lease and if determined by the Navy to be in the Government’s best interest.
Procurement Process:
The Government intends to award the EUL using a two-phased, best value source selection process. Specific source selection procedures and evaluation criteria shall be documented in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Among other things, the successful offeror shall:

- Design and develop the real estate in a manner that is compatible with adjacent Navy uses;
- Execute, operate, and manage the development consistent with best commercial practices; and
- Maintain positive relations with local government authorities and the adjacent communities.
Further, the successful offeror shall obtain necessary financing, and plan, operate, and manage the approved development for the term of the lease. The successful offeror shall provide the Navy cash and/or in-kind consideration not less than the fair market value of the offeror’s leasehold interest in the real property.
