6CA1200_Justification_for_Other_Than_Full_and_Open_Competition_(JOFOC) with Redactions.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document prepared by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), PBS Office of Leasing, for a lease extension at 801 W. Civic Center Drive, Santa Ana, California.

The justification supports a 60-month lease extension for approximately 31,327 rentable square feet of office space currently occupied under lease number LCA03058, with the extension commencing June 10, 2026. The statutory authority cited is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which permits use of a sole source when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements, implemented through FAR 6.302-1 and GSAR 570.405. The primary rationale for non-competitive award is that the occupying agency has encountered documented delays in planning for relocation to other federally controlled space due to organizational, financial, or other uncertainties, and implementing the 60-month extension with a 36-month firm period will provide sufficient time for the agency to develop long-term space requirements and prepare a complete space requirement package while protecting lease integrity. Market research conducted on June 1, 2026, using Costar and Loopnet confirmed that proposed rental rates are within current market ranges for the Santa Ana submarket and are fair and reasonable. No sources expressed written interest in the acquisition. The document was certified by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer on July 17, 2026, and subsequently reviewed and approved by the Office of the General Counsel (Real Property Law Division) and the Competition Advocate.
