and is for a leasehold interest in real property estimated to exceed
10,000 square feet, then the contracting officer must publicize
the proposed acquisition in the

                   For leasehold acquisitions where
the solicitation requires the construction of a new building on
a preselected site, the contracting officer, in accordance with
the timeframes established in FAR 5.203, must publicize the proposed
acquisition in the GPE regardless
of size or value.</p>

not subject to a square foot measurement (<i class="+ topic/ph hi-d/i ">e.g.</i>, antennas,

acquisition in the GPE when
the contract action is expected to exceed $25,000, unless an exception
under FAR 5.202 applies.</p>

                    Other than as identified
in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section, the contracting officer
need not publicize the proposed acquisition of a leasehold interest
in real property, including expansion requests within the scope
of a lease (see <xref href="GSAM-i1855144.dita#i1855144"
                        outputclass="fm:ParaNumOnly"

                        class="- topic/xref ">570.5</xref>).
However, the contracting officer may publicize proposed lease acquisitions
of any dollar value or square footage in the GPE or local newspapers
if, in the opinion of the contracting officer, doing so is necessary
to promote competition.</p>
