About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a lease renewal by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in Hampton, VA. The SSA currently occupies 7,509 ABOA (7,932 RSF) of office space at 1521 Hardy Cash Drive under lease LVA07371, set to expire on 06/23/2026. The agency seeks to extend the lease with the incumbent lessor for an additional 10-year, 5-year term without competitive bidding, as no other sources expressed interest during a 30-day SAM.gov advertisement period from 5/29/24 to 6/28/24.
The procurement strategy aims to protect GSA's lease interest and provide best value to taxpayers by remaining at the current location, where relocation costs would be prohibitive. The Norfolk field office confirms the lessor's compliance and satisfactory performance. GSA intends to negotiate a lease rate aligned with market research objectives, with the total contract value spanning both firm and soft terms. The justification cites statutory authority under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) to sole-source the lease, emphasizing that moving would incur unnecessary relocation and replication expenses.
