Revised MAR 2026

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Extension

U.S. General Services Administration

PBS, Office of Leasing

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

PROJECT NUMBER: 5FL0545

Agency Name: U.S IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT (ICE) and TRANSPORTATION

SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA)

1. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED.

The General Services Administration currently leases 32,246.00 ABOA/36,721.00 rentable square feet (RSF) of office space at 8860 SALROSE LANE, 8860 SALROSE LN , FORT MYERS, FL under lease number LFL48841 for ICE and TSA. The current lease expired April 14, 2026. Approval is requested to negotiate a lease extension with the incumbent Lessor without full and open competition for continued occupancy at this leased location. The procedures for pursuing a lease extension are detailed in GSAR 570.405: Lease extensions.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY’S NEEDS

(INCLUDING ESTIMATED VALUE).

The Government requires an extension of the current lease for 36 months to commence on April 15, 2026. The estimated cost of this lease extension is $40.88 per rentable square feet per year for an annual cost of $1,501,000.00 and a total contract value of $4,503,000.00.

3. IDENTIFICATION OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION.

41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This statutory authority is implemented through: FAR 6.103-1 (GSA RFO-2025-06) and GSAR 570.405. In accordance with GSAR 570.405, use of the sole source authority is appropriate when the Government experiences a delay in acquiring replacement space in situations such as, but not limited to, the following:

☐ The agency occupying the leased space is scheduled to move into other Federally controlled space, but encounters unexpected delays in preparing the new space for occupancy

𝤿 The government encounters unexpected delays outside of its control in acquiring replacement space

☐ The government is consolidating various agencies and the contracting officer needs to extend the terms of some leases to establish a common expiration date x The agency occupying the space has encountered delays in planning for a potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to documented organizational, financial, or other uncertainties

4. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE

QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF

THE AUTHORITY CITED.

It is in the best interest of the Government to remain at the current location during the extension period.

TSA and ICE (both its Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations divisions) share occupancy of the leased space under lease LFL48841. ICE’s long term requirements are currently in development, and initial communications indicate they intend to expand their square footage requirements and take over the entire space occupied under the current lease, due to mission related reasons. ICE’s requirements have therefore impacted TSA’s planning, and TSA is required to move into separate leased space. Their long term lease requirement is currently being procured under Project number 3FL0524, and is expected to be completed within the term of this extension.

Award to other than the current Lessor would require relocation of the entire requirement and would cause TSA and ICE to incur move and replication costs that would not be recovered through competition.

5. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS

MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE.

In accordance with GSAR 570.106(d) and 570.405, an advertisement is not required for extensions.

6. DEMONSTRATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE

GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

Recent market research conducted by the Lease Contracting Officer in FORT MYERS, FL showed the rental rate within the market area ranges from $40.26 to $54.19. This market information was obtained from CoStar listings in Fort Myers, FL.

Therefore, the anticipated rental rates for this lease extension of $40.88 per RSF, are within the current market range for this submarket and are deemed fair and reasonable by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer.

7. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS.

On April 23, 2026, market research was conducted using Costar. The market research showed the rental rate within the market area ranges from $40.26 to $54.19 per RSF full service.

8. OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.

Remaining at the current location under a 36 month extension avoids a holdover and allows the Government to continue operations without disruption.

9. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN THE

ACQUISITION.

N/A

10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME

ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION.

There are no systemic barriers to competition. If the agency has a continuing need for space upon lease expiration, GSA will follow all authorities, regulations and policies applicable to lease acquisition. Should there be remaining useful life in the Government’s tenant improvements, the Government will consider the cost of moving from the existing location, and the cost to build out new space when deciding whether to undergo a competitive action.

Additionally, objective scrutiny will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to eliminate unnecessary agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive.

11. CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION.

By signature on this Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition, the GSA Lease Contracting Officer certifies that the award of a lease extension of 36 months for LFL48841 is in the Government’s best interest and that this Justification is accurate and complete to the best of the GSA Lease Contracting Officer’s knowledge and belief.
