IV. Questions for Industry 

(1.) What measures would be required 

to transition to electric, non-fossil fuel 

using equipment for major building 

systems (heating, cooling, ventilation, 

and domestic hot water), upon the 

equipment’s replacement or end-of-life? 

(a.) What are the constraints or 

obstacles associated with this 

transition? 

(b.) Please provide an estimate of the 

impact, if any, that electrification of 

building equipment would have on 

rental rates for government leases. 

Please identify the estimated costs and 

savings associated with implementing 

electrification. 

(2.) What are the steps needed to shift 

toward using energy efficient equipment 

for building systems that follow the 

minimum performance requirements of 

Energy Star or FEMP-designated 

program standards (upon replacement 

or end-of-life)? 

(a.) Are there challenges with 

obtaining energy efficient equipment 

and components for major building 

systems, or following the minimum 

performance requirements of Energy 

Star or FEMP-designated program 

standards for a federal leased space? If 

yes, what are those market challenges? 

(b.) What impact on rental rates, if 

any, would installing energy efficient 

equipment and components for major 

building systems, or following the 

minimum performance requirements of 

Energy Star or FEMP-designated 

program standards? 

(3.) If periodic recommissioning is 

required, what is the appropriate 

frequency that major building systems 

should be recommissioned? 

(a.) Are there commercial industry 

standards for building recommissioning 

that we should consider using? 

(b.) What parameters should we 

consider using if we chose to include 

recommissioning requirements (eg: 

percentage of government occupancy; 

size of lease; term of lease)? 

(c.) What impact would periodic 

recommissioning requirements have on 

rental rates? 

(4.) Are building owners currently 

required to track and report waste 

generation (related to trash, recyclables, 

and construction & demolition debris) 

in your local jurisdictions (city, county, 

etc.)? 

(a.) What, if any, impact would this 

type of waste tracking and reporting 

have on the proposed rental rates for 

federal government leases? 

(5.) Given the thresholds of 25,000 

rentable square feet or greater and at 

least 75 percent federal government 

occupancy, would any of the 5 key 

sustainability solutions reflected in 

Section II of this RFI prevent building 

owners from offering space to the 

government on a competitive lease 

procurement? 

(6.) Are all or any of the 5 key 

sustainability solutions reflected in 

Section II of this RFI currently required 

by any building owners in jurisdictions 

or markets that you are familiar with 

(city, county, etc)? 

(a.) If so, which solutions, and which 

markets? 

(b.) Have building owners been able to 

meet the requirements like these in 

markets you are familiar with, and what 

impact, if any, have they had on rental 

rates? 

(7.) Please identify additional 

advanced sustainability requirements 

that GSA should consider in the pursuit 

of a more sustainable leased inventory. 

(a.) What are they? 

(b.) What are the expected impacts on 

rental rates for government leases 

associated with your recommendations?

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about this RFI should be 

directed to Nathan Fecik; Phone: 202– 

795–7616; Email: Syndemics@hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OIDP 

requests feedback on the development 

of the following (collectively referred to 

as the Strategic Plans): 

• National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the 

United States: 2026–2030 (NHAS) 

• Sexually Transmitted Infections 

National Strategic Plan for the United 

States: 2026–2030 (STI Plan) 

• Vaccines National Strategic Plan for 

the United States: 2026–2030 

(Vaccines Plan) 

• Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan 

for the United States 2026–2030 (Viral 

Hepatitis Plan) 

The National HIV/AIDS Strategy for 

the United States: 2022–2025 (https://

files.hiv.gov/s3fs-public/NHAS-2022- 

2025.pdf), the Sexually Transmitted 

Infections National Strategic Plan for the 

United States: 2021–2025 (https://

www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/STINational-Strategic-Plan-2021-2025.pdf), 

the Vaccines National Strategic Plan: 

2021–2025 (https://www.hhs.gov/sites/ 

default/files/HHS-Vaccines-Report.pdf), 

and the Viral Hepatitis National 

Strategic Plan for the United States: A 

Roadmap to Elimination: 2021–2025 

(https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ 

Viral-Hepatitis-National-Strategic-Plan2021-2025.pdf) expire at the end of 

calendar year 2025. 

OIDP, in collaboration with the White 

House Office of National AIDS Policy 

(focused specifically on the NHAS) and 

Federal partners, is leading work to 

develop the next iteration of these 

interrelated Strategic Plans through 

2030. As the next NHAS will be 

developed in parallel with the three 

national strategic plans, OIDP is 

collecting information for the 2026– 

2030 National HIV/AIDS Strategy at the 

request of the White House Office of 

National AIDS Policy. OIDP invites 

community input as people have served 

as the cornerstone for developing the 

Strategic Plans since their inception. 

Background: The Strategic Plans serve 

as national roadmaps for a broad range 

of constituents to help prevent, 

diagnose, treat, and cure disease, 

improve health outcomes, reduce health 

disparities and inequities, and advance 

research and technology. The plans 

include a common vision, overarching 

goals, objectives, and strategies, and 

indicators to measure national progress 

toward established targets. 

The development of the next iteration 

of the Strategic Plans will serve as an 

opportunity to incorporate the latest 

epidemiological data; review progress 

toward achieving national strategic plan 

goals; center the needs of populations 

disproportionately affected; address 

gaps identified in existing Strategic 

Plans; integrate the latest scientific 

advances; prioritize the most effective 

strategies for achieving national goals; 

and further emphasize the need to 

implement integrated syndemic 

approaches (https://www.hiv.gov/blog/ 

defining-the-term-syndemic) that cut 

across each of the Strategic Plans and 

address common root causes of 

infectious diseases. 

OIDP, in collaboration with Federal 

partners, is updating the Strategic Plans 

at the same time because these 

conditions often disproportionately 

affect similar populations and may 

share common root causes. The Vaccine 

National Strategic Plan is included in 

this coordinated process to elevate the 

critical role vaccines can serve as a key 

intervention to prevent infectious 

disease, including STIs and viral 

hepatitis, and to disrupt syndemics. By 

updating the Strategic Plans at the same 

time, OIDP aims to identify, leverage, 

and maximize Federal and other 

resources to achieve health equity and 

reduce related health disparities. 

OIDP coordinates the development, 

implementation, and monitoring of the 

Strategic Plans in collaboration with 

Federal partners. 

Information Requested: Anyone can 

submit written responses to the 

questions of interest listed at the 

following website: https://
