This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a lease renewal by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (ATTTB). The lease is for 39,868 rentable square feet of office space located at 1310 G Street NW in Washington, DC, with a 10-year firm term and 5-year renewal option. The current lease expires on June 11, 2025, and the agency seeks to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent lessor without full and open competition due to cost-effectiveness and the government's best interest in remaining at the current location.

The justification includes market research conducted on October 30, 2024, using CoStar, which identified potentially acceptable locations that might meet the agency's needs. The lease contracting officer determined the proposed rental rate is within the current market range and deemed fair and reasonable. Key statutory authority (41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)) permits this non-competitive approach, citing only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. The document indicates no systemic barriers to competition exist, and the incumbent lessor has performed satisfactorily throughout the current lease term. The total contract value includes months of free rent, and the lease is specifically for the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
