_Justification_for_Other_Than_Full_and_Open_Competition_(JOFOC)_or_SLAT-level_Memo_to_File_and_Supporting_Documentation__JOFOC_7_30_2024_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memo to File providing documentation to explain the absence of competition for a lease extension within the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT). The lease for location LMI18918, which will expire on April 30, 2025, requires a 36-month extension as noted in the Acquisition Plan. The government has determined that unexpected delays outside of its control in acquiring replacement space necessitate this lease extension.

The justification for the extension is based on cost rationale, noting that lease extensions are short-term contracting actions to protect government occupancy rights when vacating is not feasible by the contract expiration. The estimated net annual rent is within the SLAT, and the government cannot reasonably expect to recover relocation costs through full and open competition. The document is prepared by Crystal Garibay on 7/26/2024 and approved by John Boguslaski on 7/29/2024, with the project number 4MI0417.
