This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document from GSA Region 2's Leasing Division for exercising a renewal option on lease GS-02B-23796. The document justifies a 3-year renewal option for four structured parking spaces at 1 Perkins Drive in Buffalo, NY for the U.S. Courts - Probation office, with the renewal period running from December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027.

The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the authority for other than full and open competition, noting that only one responsible source can meet the agency's needs. GSA posted a notice on SAM.gov for 7 days starting September 25, 2024 and received no responses. The location near the Robert H. Jackson U.S. Courthouse is deemed critical for the Probation office's mission. Market research was conducted showing the proposed rental rates are fair and reasonable compared to local market rates. The document states that moving to a new location would risk disrupting operations and incur relocation costs that cannot be recovered through competition.
