This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for a lease extension submitted by the U.S. General Services Administration on behalf of the Social Security Administration (SSA).

The document justifies extending the current office lease at 22690 Cactus Ave, Moreno Valley, CA (lease number GS-09B-02706, LCA02706) for 60 months commencing September 16, 2026. The current lease expires September 15, 2026, and GSA seeks to extend without competitive bidding under the sole source authority in 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405. The extension covers approximately 18,887 ABOA/21,550 rentable square feet. Specific rental rates per RSF are redacted in the document, but market research conducted on July 23, 2026, using CoStar and LoopNet demonstrates that the anticipated rental rates fall within the fair and reasonable market range of $36.00 to $45.20 per RSF for the Moreno Valley submarket. The justification cites SSA's documented organizational and financial uncertainties over the past year, including a deep analysis of organizational structures and delays in delivering funds for long-term replacement space procurement, as the primary basis for the extension. GSA asserts that relocation to another lessor would impose unrecoverable move and replication costs. The document was signed and approved by the Lease Contracting Officer, Branch Chief, Leasing Director, Senior Assistant General Counsel, and Competition Advocate between September 3 and September 11, 2026.

Revised MAR 2026 allow for the development of long-term requirements for the tenant agency. In this case, the Social Security Administration encountered significant organizational and financial uncertainties in the past year which impacted the planning for ongoing space requirements and caused delays in long term requirements development.

Specifically, the agency undertook a deep analysis of their organizational structures and ongoing space needs that would result from any planned structural reorganizations. Moreover, and as a direct consequence of this strategic planning, the SSA encountered delays in delivering funds to GSA for the purpose of procuring the long-term replacement space. These documented organizational and financial uncertainties resulted in significant delays to GSA’s ability to plan for and procure potential relocation space.

This extension is further justified because award to other than the current Lessor would require relocation of the entire requirement and would cause the Social Security Administration to incur move and replication costs that would not be recovered through competition.

5. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS

MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE.

In accordance with GSAR 570.106(d) and 570.405, an advertisement is not required for extensions.

6. DEMONSTRATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE

GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

Recent market research conducted by the Lease Contracting Officer in Moreno Valley, CA showed the rental rate within the market area ranges from $36.00 to $45.20.

Therefore, the anticipated average rental rate for this lease extension of $ per RSF, are within the current market range for this submarket and are deemed fair and reasonable by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer.

7. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS.

On July 23, 2026, market research was conducted using CoStar and LoopNet. The market research showed the rental rate within the market area ranges from $36.00 to $45.20.

8. OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.

Remaining at the current location under a 60 month extension avoids a holdover and allows the Government to continue operations without disruption.

9. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN THE

ACQUISITION.

N/A

10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME

ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION.

There are no systemic barriers to competition. If the agency has a continuing need for space upon lease expiration, GSA will follow all authorities, regulations and policies applicable to lease acquisition. Should there be remaining useful life in the Government’s tenant improvements, the Government will consider the cost of moving from the existing location, and the cost to build out new space when deciding whether to undergo a competitive action.

Additionally, objective scrutiny will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to eliminate unnecessary agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive.
