For Sale Act of 2025

Sale of six federal DC buildings

This bill would require agencies in six named Washington, DC federal buildings to move out within 18 months. The General Services Administration would have to sell those six buildings for fair market value and highest and best use within 2 years after vacancy. The buildings named are the Department of Agriculture South Building; the Hubert H. Humphrey Federal Building; the Frances Perkins Federal Building; the James V. Forrestal Building; the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building; and the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building. The GSA would be barred from selling these buildings to a foreign person, foreign entity, or any entity with a foreign beneficial owner using the Secure Federal LEASEs Act definitions. Sales covered by the bill would be exempt from NEPA, historic-preservation review, McKinney-Vento section 501, and certain Title 40 procedures. Net sale proceeds would first pay amounts the Administrator deems needed and go into the Federal Buildings Fund. Any remaining net proceeds would go into the Treasury general fund to reduce the federal deficit. Money put into the Federal Buildings Fund could be spent only after a specific future appropriation by Congress. The GSA and other agencies would not be allowed to buy or lease other buildings as part of these closings.
