Commercial coworking

Provide federal employees with a short-term space solution
To keep up with rapidly changing federal workplace needs, we are tapping into the private sector’s business model for coworking spaces. Federal agencies can now also take advantage of shared workspaces in commercial settings to meet short-term space needs.
Through our contract with five commercial vendors, federal agencies have access to commercial coworking spaces in large and small cities across the continental United States.
Our contract provides you access to short-term, on-demand commercial coworking space for:
- Emergencies (example: asbestos abatement).
- Hiring surges (example: urgent hiring of data scientists).
- Swing space (example: delayed construction project).
- Pilots (example: testing a coworking program).
“[I liked the] ability to work alongside non-federal workers and fed workers from other agencies.” –Survey respondent

Identifying your coworking requirements
If you are interested in using one of our commercial coworking spaces, please provide the following information when you contact our team:
- Number and types of workspaces (workstation, office, reserved or unreserved) needed (our team can help you determine this).
- Length of time you need (must be between one and 12 months).
- Location (city or cities in the Continental U.S.).
- Other requested amenities.
We will first consider the availability of similar turnkey vacant federal or vacant leased space. If similar, federally-controlled space is not available, we can work with you to create a scope of work that aligns with the contract. Your agency must issue reimbursable work authorization funding through eRETA before we request quotations from vendors in your delineated area.
