This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a lease extension by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the Geological Survey, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The GSA is seeking to extend their current lease at 1400 Independence Rd, Rolla, MO for 24 months, starting March 1, 2025, with the current lease (LMO08007) set to expire February 28, 2025. The lease covers 83,433.00 square feet of office space, and the extension is being pursued to avoid operational disruption and allow continued occupancy without holdover.

The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the statutory authority, specifically noting that the agency has encountered delays in planning for a potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to organizational, financial, and other uncertainties. Market research conducted on June 2, 2023, using Costar showed rental rates in the market area, and the GSA Lease Contracting Officer determined the anticipated rental rates are fair and reasonable. The document includes concurrence and approval from multiple GSA officials, with the final approval dated 12/21/2023, indicating this lease extension is imminent.
