Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has issued an Award & Justification Notice for a 24-month lease extension for the U.S. Public Defender Service at 1010 Market Street, St. Louis, MO. This action justifies extending the current lease (LMO21035), which expires May 31, 2026, without full and open competition. The extension is necessary due to delays in procuring a new lease and to avoid significant relocation costs.
Scope of Action
This justification covers the continued occupancy of the U.S. Public Defender Service at its existing leased location in St. Louis, MO, through a 24-month lease extension. The extension will commence on June 1, 2026.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Lease Extension)
- Duration: 24 months, starting June 1, 2026
- Estimated Cost: Market research indicates anticipated rental rates are fair and reasonable (specific dollar amounts not provided).
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (sole-source extension with incumbent lessor)
- Published: June 11, 2026
Justification & Authority
This is a justification for a sole-source extension, not a solicitation. The action is justified under statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405 for lease extensions. The GSA Lease Contracting Officer certifies the extension is in the Government's best interest.
Additional Notes
The extension is required due to unforeseen delays in the procurement of a new/replacing lease (project 1MO2128), which experienced an LCO-level protest and a subsequent pause on new procurements. Relocating the agency would incur substantial move and replication costs. Market research, utilizing CoStar and Bullseye, was conducted to ensure the rental rate for the extension is fair and reasonable. Per GSAR 570.106(d) and 570.405, no advertisement is required for this type of lease extension.
