U.S. General Services Administration GSA PBS Region 10

Leasing Division

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Under Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold

Memo to File

Lease Number: GS-10B-06918 Project Number: 9AK2106 Agency Name:

City, State: Wrangell, AK Lease Action Type: Extension Rentable SF: 1,200 Net Annual Rent (NAR):

This Memorandum documents that the contracting officer did not identify any potential acceptable locations through advertisement or market survey and serves as the written justification to negotiate directly with the present lessor in accordance with GSAM 570.402-4, No Potential Acceptable Locations, and FAR 6.3, Other Than Full and Open Competition. In accordance with GSAM 570.405(c), Lease Extensions, FAR 6.302-1 permits contracting without providing for full and open competition when the property or services needed by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the agency. This authority applies to lease extensions 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.

The RLP issued for the new/replacing lease did not result in a lease award. The procurement is essentially being re-booted and the RLP will be re-issued. This delay has facilitated the need for this extension.

CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION

The Contracting Officer determines and certifies that the award of this procurement is in the Government's best interest, the anticipated cost to the Government is fair and reasonable, and that this Justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
