This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition memo filed by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) PBS Region 1 Leasing Division for a lease renewal action. The document justifies a single-source procurement for real property leasing services for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in Bangor, Maine.

The existing lease (GS-01P-LME04967) comprises 5,081 rentable square feet and will be renewed for a 60-month non-firm term under the GSA Real Services Facility (RSF) Shell contract vehicle. Market research conducted on January 29, 2026, identified two potentially acceptable locations; however, the contracting officer's cost-benefit analysis determined that relocating would result in unrecoverable costs and duplication expenses that cannot be offset through competition, and that no other offeror could likely provide substantially equivalent space at a competitive price. Accordingly, the single-source approach was determined to be the most viable procurement option. The contracting officer certified that the award is in the Government's best interest with fair and reasonable anticipated costs. The justification was signed by the Lease Contracting Officer on February 2, 2026.
