About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a lease extension submitted by the General Services Administration (GSA) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
GSA seeks to extend the current parking lease at 167-16 147th Avenue, Jamaica, NY (lease number GS-02B-LNY23698) for an additional sixty (60) months commencing November 1, 2026. The lease currently provides seventy (70) reserved parking spaces, consisting of forty (40) structured spaces and thirty (30) surface spaces, expiring October 31, 2026. The extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as a sole source acquisition, citing DHS's documented delays in planning relocation to federally controlled space due to organizational and financial uncertainties. GSA conducted market research on July 14, 2026, using REXUS data from existing GSA parking leases in the New York City area, confirming the proposed rental rate falls within the current market range. The estimated annual cost is based on the current parking rental rate, with no tenant improvements or building-specific amortized capital work required. GSA determined no vacant federal space is available and that remaining at the current location is in the government's best interest, as relocation would incur substantial move and replication costs far exceeding the five-year extension cost. Termination rights during the extension period provide flexibility for future relocation and consolidation efforts. No other sources expressed written interest in the acquisition. The justification was executed and approved by GSA's Lease Contracting Officer, legal counsel, and the Competition Advocate on dates ranging from July 27, 2026 to August 4, 2026.

3. IDENTIFICATION OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN
COMPETITION.
41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This statutory authority is implemented through: FAR 6.103-1 (GSA RFO-2025-06) and GSAR 570.405. In accordance with GSAR 570.405, use of the sole source authority is appropriate when the Government experiences a delay in acquiring replacement space in situations such as, but not limited to, the following:
The agency occupying the leased space is scheduled to move into other Federally controlled space, but encounters unexpected delays in preparing the new space for occupancy
The government encounters unexpected delays outside of its control in acquiring replacement space
The government is consolidating various agencies and the contracting officer needs to extend the terms of some leases to establish a common expiration date
The agency occupying the space has encountered delays in planning for a potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to documented organizational, financial, or other uncertainties
