Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has executed a 3-year lease extension for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the Bismarck Municipal Airport, ND. This notice serves as a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC), explaining the rationale for the non-competitive extension.
Action Details
This action extends an existing lease for DHS TSA at 2301 UNIVERSITY DR, BISMARCK, ND. The extension is for 36 months, with an estimated net annual rent of $52,698.11, which falls within the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT). The original lease was set to expire on December 31, 2025.
Rationale for Extension
The JOFOC memo outlines several reasons for the non-competitive extension:
- Delays in the agency occupying the space moving to alternative federally controlled space.
- Unexpected government delays in acquiring replacement space.
- The need to consolidate agencies and establish common expiration dates for leases.
- Delays in planning for potential relocation due to organizational, financial, or other uncertainties. A key mission-based rationale highlights that TSA's mission at this location can only be performed at the airport terminal, and the airport is the sole building owner providing this specific space. The extension is crucial to allow GSA sufficient time to procure a new long-term lease while ensuring TSA's mission continues uninterrupted.
