Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE (PBS R8 ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT DIVISION), has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a lease extension in Boulder, CO. This action is to extend the current lease for approximately 27,774 ABOA / 28,588 rentable square feet of office space for the CD NTIA (First Responder Network Authority - FirstNet) at Sterling Circle. The current lease expires March 20, 2026, and the extension is required due to delays in acquiring replacement space and pending Congressional reauthorization for FirstNet.
Scope of Action
- Purpose: Justify a sole-source lease extension with the incumbent Lessor.
- Requirement: Continued occupancy for CD NTIA (FirstNet) at the current location.
- Duration: 18-month lease extension, with 11 months firm, commencing March 21, 2026.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Lease Extension)
- Product/Service Code: X1AA (Lease/Rental Of Office Buildings)
- Estimated Cost: To be determined per rentable square foot per year.
- Total Value: To be determined.
- Published Date: February 5, 2026
Justification & Eligibility
- Authority: 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405, citing the government's inability to acquire replacement space in time.
- Set-Aside: Not applicable, as this is a justification for a sole-source lease extension.
- Rationale: The extension reduces the risk of committing to a long-term lease while FirstNet's reauthorization is pending and avoids holdover tenancy. Relocation would incur significant move and build-out costs for CD NTIA.
- Market Research: Indicates anticipated rental rates for the extension are fair, reasonable, and below current market range.
