Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE, has awarded a 30-month lease extension for 163,538 rentable square feet (RSF) of office and special space in Washington, DC. This extension, for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), is located at 470/490 L'Enfant Plaza, SW, and is necessary due to delays in a planned long-term competitive procurement.
Scope of Action
This action extends existing leases (LDC02211 and LDC02210) which were set to expire on November 30, 2025. The extension is for a 30-month term, with a 24-month firm term, commencing on December 1, 2025, and concluding by May 31, 2028. The space is utilized by the NTSB for their operational needs.

Justification & Future Outlook
This lease extension was executed via a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC). The rationale is that the planned consolidation into a new, long-term lease, intended to be procured through full and open competition, has been delayed. This delay is attributed to pending Congressional approval of a prospectus and funding uncertainties, with the anticipated occupancy date for the new lease now projected for November 2027. The extension prevents disruption to NTSB operations. Market research was conducted to ensure the rental rate is fair and reasonable. Upon the expiration of this 30-month extension, GSA anticipates no further lease action at this specific location, indicating that a subsequent, long-term requirement will be competitively procured.
