3VA0730 - Redacted JOFOC.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a lease renewal for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in Norfolk, VA. The GSA currently leases 131,692 rentable square feet at Main Street Tower, 300 E. Main Street, with the current lease expiring on August 18, 2026. The USCG seeks to secure a 15-year, 10-year firm succeeding lease for the same location, with paint and carpet refreshed in 2023. The estimated annual cost is redacted, and there is no vacant federal space available as an alternative.

The justification follows GSAR 570.402 procedures for a succeeding lease, with market research conducted using CoStar and SAM.gov. The rental rate was determined fair and reasonable based on market comparables, with the incumbent lessor being the only submission of interest. The GSA Lease Contracting Officer certified that awarding this lease is in the government's best interest, with no systematic barriers to competition identified. The document includes multiple levels of approval, including the Lease Contracting Officer, Leasing Specialist, Regional Director, Regional Counsel, Regional Competition Advocate, and Acting Regional Commissioner, all dated 11/18/2024 or 11/19/2024.
