This document is a Memo to File for a lease extension within the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT). The lease (LMO01017) for a location in Kansas City, Missouri is set to expire on September 14, 2025, and requires a 12-month extension. The lease extension is justified by the agency encountering delays in planning for a potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to organizational, financial, or other uncertainties.

The memo indicates that the lease extension is necessary because the agency's mission requires a unique location that cannot be satisfied through alternative locations. The estimated net annual rent falls within the SLAT, and the extension is supported by GSAR 570.405. The document emphasizes that lease extensions represent short-term contracting actions to protect the government's occupancy rights when vacating the premises is not feasible by the existing contract term. The memo is approved by the Lease Contracting Officer and provides documentation explaining the absence of competition for this lease extension.
