Summary: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Extension

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document submitted by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), PBS Office of Leasing, for a lease extension at the CENTENNIAL BLDG, 1251 NW 36TH ST, MIAMI, FL (Lease Number LFL60525, Project Number 0FL2359).

GSA seeks to extend the current lease of 15,886.00 rentable square feet for an additional 36 months commencing June 13, 2026, following the expiration of the existing lease on June 12, 2026. The justification invokes the sole source authority under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405, citing that the agency has encountered documented delays in planning for potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to organizational, financial, or other uncertainties. The anticipated annual rental cost is within the current market range for the Miami submarket, as confirmed by market research conducted on April 16, 2026, using Costar, REIS, CBRE, and LoopNet databases. The extension is justified on the basis of operational continuity, avoiding relocation costs and disruption, and the Government's need to remain at the current location during the transitional period while long-term space requirements are finalized. The contracting officer certified that the award is in the Government's best interest, and the justification was approved by the Competition Advocate on May 1, 2026.
