This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from GSA Region 04 Leasing for a 3-month lease extension at Blue Ridge West under project number 4TN0377. The document justifies extending the current lease LTN61947 which expires November 4, 2024, covering 17,447.00 ABOA/17,855.00 rentable square feet of office space.

The extension is needed due to unexpected delays in acquiring replacement space, with market research conducted via CoStar on November 26, 2024 confirming fair and reasonable rental rates for the area. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the statutory authority, noting that only one responsible source can meet the agency's requirements. The document states that awarding to anyone other than the current lessor would require relocation and cause unrecoverable moving and replication costs. The extension allows continuous operations without disruption while avoiding a holdover situation. The file includes certifications from both the contracting officer and technical preparer, dated December 2023.
