Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the PBS Office of Leasing, has issued a Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for the continued lease of office space in Tampa, FL. This justification supports a sole-source negotiation with the incumbent Lessor for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), ensuring uninterrupted occupancy at the current location.
Purpose
This document justifies GSA's decision to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent Lessor without full and open competition. The primary goal is to continue CBP's occupancy at 3811 Corporex Park Drive, Tampa, FL, thereby avoiding substantial relocation and replication costs for the agency.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for 22,539 ABOA / 23,448 rentable square feet (RSF) of office and related space. The proposed lease term is 20 years, including a 15-year firm term, with a lease commencement date of February 2, 2026. No suitable vacant Federal Space was identified as available.
Justification Basis
The justification cites statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.402, asserting that an award to any other offeror would result in substantial duplication of costs that would not be recovered through competition. The estimated cost of the lease and total contract value are redacted in the document.
Market Research
Market research was conducted, including an advertisement on SAM.gov and outreach to brokers. However, no other expressions of interest were received. The proposed rental rate has been deemed fair and reasonable and within the current market range.
