Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to secure 4,702 rentable square feet (RSF) of office and related space in Frederick, MD. This JOFOC justifies a sole-source negotiation with the incumbent Lessor for a 15-year lease term, commencing August 5, 2026.
Purpose & Justification
The FBI requires this space, and the JOFOC is issued under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), implemented through GSAR 570.402. The primary justification for avoiding full and open competition is to prevent substantial duplication of costs associated with relocation and replication of existing tenant improvements. The GSA Lease Contracting Officer has certified this action is in the Government's best interest.
Scope of Requirement
- Space: 4,702 rentable square feet (RSF) of office and related space.
- Lease Term: 15 years.
- Commencement: August 5, 2026.
- Location: Delineated area of Frederick, MD.
Contract Details
This is a lease agreement. While the estimated cost is not fully specified, the proposed rental rates have been deemed fair and reasonable and within the current market range.
Set-Aside
Not applicable, as this is a justification for other than full and open competition, not a solicitation.
Market Research
Market research was conducted, including an advertisement on SAM.gov, to ensure offers were solicited from as many potential sources as practicable before determining the need for a sole-source justification.
