About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a 3-month lease extension of government office space in Miami, FL. The General Services Administration (GSA) is the contracting agency for this lease extension under contract LFL48836, awarded to DOLPHIN PARK TT LLC on May 8, 2024 for $25,380,968.62.
The JOFOC cites the government's need to remain at the current location without disruption and avoid incurring additional costs associated with moving and replicating the existing space. GSA's market research showed the proposed rental rate of the extension, at per rentable square foot, is within the current market range and deemed fair and reasonable. There are no systemic barriers to competition, and GSA will follow standard procedures for any future lease acquisition.
