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 currently leases 59,150 rentable square feet of office space at 655 West Rialto Ave., San Bernardino, CA, under lease number GS-09P-LCA03205, and seeks a 5-month lease extension from March 1, 2025. The estimated cost of the lease extension is $32.91 per rentable square foot per year, with a total contract value of approximately $1,995,293.88.

The lease extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the only responsible source, with the primary rationale being the agency's need to remain at the current location during a transitional period. A long-term lease for a different location is under construction and scheduled for completion in February 2025, with GSA estimating an additional 4-5 months needed for furniture installation, moving services, and disposing of excess furniture. The proposed rental rate was determined fair and reasonable through market research conducted on December 23, 2024, and the extension will allow for a soft transition without operational disruption.
