Memo to File:

Project Number: 8OR2261 Lease Number: GS-10B-07005

RE: Justification for Sole Source Procurement Below SLAT Memo 2110 Mission Street Plaza Salem, OR 97302 (OR6716)

Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General (SSA OIG)

General Services Administration (GSA) currently leases 2,217 RSF/2,015 ABOA of office space on behalf of SSA OIG under GS-10B-07005, at a building located on 2110 Mission Street Plaza Salem, OR 97302. The current lease expires September 24, 2019. This memo is in furtherance of a lease extension to allow additional time to procure a long term lease (see project 6OR0202). The long term lease will consolidate the OIG operation housed under this lease with a separately GSA leased space housing SSA CDIU. This new consolidated operation will be located in Wilsonville, OR. The extension of this lease will provide a term consistent with the lease housing CDIU. Consequently, GSA will seek a 36 month extension with 16 months firm. The prevailing authority is GSAR 570.203-2(b): If soliciting only one source, document the file to explain the lack of competition.

GSAM 570.203-2(b) allows the contracting officer to solicit only one source for a procurement below SLAT as long as the file is documented to explain the lack of competition. This memo does not evaluate a cost-benefit analysis per GSAM 570.402-6 as this is only applicable for succeeding leases in excess of SLAT whereas this justification is supported by Simplified Procedures specified in GSAM 570.405 (b) and 570.2.

The Extension Rate is expected to yield an annual rent of which is well under the SLAT threshold.

Market Full Service Rates for Salem, OR range from with a median rate of The proposed extension rates of represent a slight increase from the existing rate and would be within a reasonable range of market rates for a short term extension.

This sole source procurement is below SLAT, best supports the mission of the agency, and is in the best interest of the Government.
