Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE (PBS R2 OFFICE OF LEASING), has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to extend a lease for approximately 34,175 RSF of office and related space, plus 14 parking spaces, at Halmar Cargo Building 75 JFK Airport, Queens, NY. This extension is for the continued occupancy of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), whose current lease expires on December 31, 2025.
Purpose & Scope
The primary purpose of this justification is to secure a 30-month lease extension, commencing January 1, 2026, without full and open competition. This is necessary to protect CBP's critical mission operations, which require proximity to JFK Airport for inspecting and monitoring materials entering the U.S., while GSA works to secure a new, replacement lease through a competitive process.
