Justification - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The justification seeks to acquire administrative and support workspace on airport property for TSA security checkpoint screening areas and related requirements. The acquisition is based on the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) signed in November 2001, which made TSA responsible for civil aviation security functions.

Key details include the requirement for TSA to have space at every airport in the United States with scheduled commercial airline service, which is not currently covered by existing property laws. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) as statutory authority for using non-competitive procedures when services are available from only one responsible source. The contracting officer must determine the contract price to be fair and reasonable, utilizing available market information. No other sources expressed interest in the acquisition, and no specific actions to overcome competition barriers were noted.
