About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a succeeding lease by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP). GSA currently leases 34,557 rentable square feet of office space at 1901 Cross Beam Dr, Charlotte, NC for CBP Field Operations and Mission Support Facilities, with the current lease expiring on 8/31/2022. The agency seeks to negotiate a new 15-year/10-year firm lease with the incumbent lessor, starting 9/1/2022, near the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as authority for sole-source procurement, arguing that moving to another location would incur substantial duplicate costs. Market research conducted by Carpenter/Robbins Commercial Real Estate in December 2021 using CoStar and local real estate contacts confirmed the current location meets agency requirements. The proposed rental rate is within the current market range, and the incumbent lessor has provided good property management. The lease contracting officer certified on 5/9/2022 that this is in the government's best interest, with GSA pursuing a 3-year renewal option to provide additional procurement time, with the renewal expiring on August 31, 2025.
