1TX2815 Redacted Justification.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document for a succeeding lease procurement by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Region 7, Leasing Division.

GSA seeks to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent lessor for 18,458 assignable square feet (ABOA) / 21,226 rentable square feet (RSF) of office space at Shiloh Plaza, 109 Shiloh Drive, Laredo, Texas 75045, under lease number GS-07D-LTX00165. The current lease expires February 7, 2025, and the new lease term will be 10 years/5 years firm, commencing February 8, 2025. The estimated annual cost is redacted in the document, with a total contract value also redacted. The delineated area boundaries are North: I-69W, East: McPherson Road, South: Del Mar Boulevard, West: Monarch Highway 83/I-35. GSA determined there is no vacant federal space available.

GSA justified the sole-source procurement under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.402, citing no potentially acceptable alternative locations. Market research conducted on February 7, 2023, and May 10, 2023, using CoStar and Loopnet yielded no acceptable results. A presolicitation notice was posted on SAM.gov on May 24, 2023, for four days, and received zero responses. No sources expressed written interest in the acquisition. The document was signed and approved by the Lease Contracting Officer (Michael Sianan) on June 27, 2023, with concurrences from the Leasing Director, Legal Counsel, and Competition Advocate on June 28, 2023.
