Contract & Timeline
- Type: Special Notice / Intent to Award a Lease (Other Than Full and Open Competition)
- Agency: Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Department of Homeland Security
- Place of Performance: Terminal One, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Jamaica, NY 11430

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document explains the rationale for this approach. It cites 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, indicating availability from a single responsible source. The justification stems from TSA's critical need, established by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), to maintain a direct, on-airport presence to support its screener workforce and administrative staff. While the Government intends to pursue a sole source acquisition, it will consider alternative space if economically advantageous, factoring in relocation and alteration costs.

- Building Name and Address
