Justification for Sole Source
The USPTO intends to award this contract to LCOR Alexandria LLC because they are the landlord and building owner-manager of the USPTO facility. LCOR possesses unique control and authority over landlord-controlled building structure, common areas, loading/delivery access, staging, construction scheduling, alteration approvals, and coordination with base-building systems (electrical, HVAC, fire/life safety, security). This direct involvement is deemed essential for approving, coordinating, and managing all aspects of the requirement within the occupied leased building, ensuring a single point of responsibility. The procurement will utilize the Alternative Competition Method under the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG), exempt from the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA).
