This document is a Memo to File for a lease extension for an FBI facility located at 1634 Genesee St 2nd Floor in Utica, NY. The lease (number LNY24237) is set to expire on January 6, 2026, and requires an 18-month extension. The estimated net annual rent falls within the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT), and the extension is justified by organizational, financial, and planning uncertainties related to potential relocation.

The memo indicates that finding new space for the FBI is time-consuming, and they have been asked by the lessor to secure an extension. The lease extension is recommended under GSAR 570.405, with a cost-based rationale that emphasizes protecting the government's occupancy rights and avoiding associated relocation costs. The document was prepared on 9/2/2025 and approved on 9/3/2025, with the project number 3NY0920, supporting an 18-month continuation of the current lease while the agency plans for potential future space requirements.
