About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from GSA Region 3's Public Building Service for a succeeding lease in Roanoke, VA. The document justifies negotiating directly with the incumbent lessor at 810 Connecticut Ave NE, Roanoke VA for continued occupancy of 13,640 RSF (12,500 ABOA SF) of office space.
The lease requirement is for a 10-year term with 5-year firm period and one 5-year renewal option, commencing August 1, 2026. GSA conducted market research identifying 4 potential locations but received interest only from the incumbent lessor after posting on SAM.gov in February 2024. The justification cites potential relocation costs and agency disruption as key factors for remaining in place. Market research showed rental rates in the area ranging from redacted amounts per RSF based on CoStar data. The incumbent location at 810 Connecticut Ave NE was deemed fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer. The document was signed and approved by GSA officials between April 17-18, 2024.

9. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN THE
ACQUISITION.
810 Connecticut Ave NE, Roanoke, VA 24012 (incumbent)
10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME
ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION.
There are no systemic barriers to competition. If the agency has a continuing need for space upon lease expiration, GSA will follow all authorities, regulations and policies applicable to lease acquisition. Should there be remaining useful life in the Government’s tenant improvements, the Government will consider the cost of moving from the existing location, and the cost to build out new space when deciding whether to undergo a competitive action.
Additionally, objective scrutiny will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to eliminate unnecessary agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive.
