4NE0094_Justification_for_Other_Than_Full_and_Open_Competition_Redacted (1).pdf

This is a Memo to File documenting the justification for a lease extension without competition for Project Number 4NE0094 in Omaha, NE. The document explains the rationale for extending a lease that will expire on October 31, 2024, for an additional 18 months under the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT).

The extension is justified under GSAR 570.405 due to unexpected delays outside government control in acquiring replacement space. A cost-based rationale is cited, noting that lease extensions represent necessary short-term actions to protect government occupancy rights and avoid costs associated with holdover tenancies. The document is signed by Henry Witt on 10/31/2024 and approved by Emily Tinsley on 11/1/2024. The lease extension falls within SLAT thresholds and is being processed through the GSA Public Buildings Service Region 6.
