This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a GSA lease in Arlington, VA. The General Services Administration seeks to lease 32,949 ANSI/BOMA Office Area Square Feet (37,514 rentable square feet) at 241 18th Street South, with the current lease expiring on March 16, 2025. The space will house the Department of Defense and requires ISC Level 3 security requirements, above-grade office space meeting specific mission needs.

The proposed lease is for a 10-year firm term beginning March 17, 2025, with a total contract value reflecting market research conducted on August 19, 2024. The GSA conducted market research using CoStar, which identified potential locations with full-service rental rates in the delineated area. The lease contracting officer determined the proposed rental rate is fair and reasonable, with no systemic barriers to competition. The document includes certifications from multiple GSA officials, including the Lease Contracting Officer and various division directors, approving the non-competitive lease acquisition process.
