3LA0277_2_Memo_to_File_to_Docu_of_Competition_Mmeo_5_15_2025 1_Redacted.pdf

This is a Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold - Absence of Competition Memo for Project Number 3LA0277 documenting the Government's justification for a single-source lease renewal without competition. The current lease (LLA17073) expires on 12/5/2026, and the Government has determined that the existing location represents the most advantageous site to meet the continuing space needs of the tenant agency.

Market research was conducted through SAM.gov Contract Opportunities posting, which yielded responses from at least one vendor. The decision to proceed with a succeeding lease action is supported by a cost-based rationale under GSAM 570.402-1(a) and 570.203-2. The Succeeding Lease Analysis Tool demonstrated that remaining in place would generate substantial cost savings compared to relocating to a new location, as the Government could not recover relocation and duplication costs through full and open competition. The expected cost savings are documented in the analysis tool (amounts redacted). The memo was prepared by a Leasing Specialist on 5/15/2025 and approved by the Lease Contracting Officer on the same date.
