The offer submission process is completely web-enabled, allowing all registered participants to submit and update offers for lease space to the Federal Government within specified timeframes, in response to a Request for Lease Proposal (“RLP”) package. The LOP operates using two platforms.

The Automated Advanced Acquisition Program (“AAAP”) is a multiple award lease procurement tool. The AAAP allows the market to compete for multiple federal leases by submitting a single offer through a simple online platform. The AAAP collects best and final offers, for generic office space needs, that remain in a secure database throughout the fiscal year (Oct 1 – Sept 30). Offerors are encouraged to submit all available office space, for three lease term options, with consideration to GSA’s minimum requirements. The AAAP positions the GSA to expeditiously address the future leasing needs of the Government.
The Requirement Specific Acquisition Platform (“RSAP”) is a single award lease procurement tool. The RSAP migrates GSA’s traditional lease procurement method to an e-commerce procurement and transaction tool, collecting online offers for a specific space requirement. The RSAP uses a single RLP for a specific space requirement and allows offerors to tailor initial offers by utilizing a streamlined workflow. The RSAP positions the GSA to address complex space requirements electronically.

What is the difference between the AAAP and the RSAP?

The AAAP is a multiple award platform. Offerors respond to generic RLPs for office space and submit their space often in advance of an agency requirement.

The RSAP collects offers for a specific requirement, defined by a specific request for lease proposals, and results in a single award. Another difference is that the RSAP follows the traditional procurement process, which allows for negotiation and multiple iterations of offers. The AAAP is more streamlined, and offerors only submit their best and final proposals.
