This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a lease extension by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Region 9 Leasing. The GSA seeks to extend the current lease for 47,308 square feet of office space at One World Trade Center in Long Beach, California for 36 months, commencing on 10/01/26. The current lease has a rental rate of $44.57 per rentable square foot (RSF) per year and expires on 9/30/26.

The lease extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) due to unexpected delays outside the government's control in acquiring replacement space. The extension will support a workplace study expected to be completed by February 2025 and ensure continued occupancy. Market research conducted on 08/09/24 confirmed the rental rate is within the current market range and deemed fair and reasonable by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer. The extension avoids a holdover and allows the government to continue operations without disruption, with no systemic barriers to competition identified.
