This is a Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold - Absence of Competition Memorandum for Project Number 3LA0278 documenting the Government's justification for pursuing a lease renewal without full and open competition.

The current lease (LLA17332) expires on 12/13/2026 and will be succeeded through a non-competitive lease action. Market research was conducted using Loopnet and SAM.gov Contract Opportunities postings, resulting in responses from two vendors whose information is redacted in the document. The Government determined that the current space represents the most advantageous location to meet the tenant agency's continuing operational needs. The decision to proceed without competition is supported by GSAM 570.402-1(a) and 570.203-2, relying on a cost-based rationale. The Succeeding Lease Analysis Tool demonstrates that relocating to alternative space would incur costs the Government cannot recover through competitive procurement, with the action projected to generate cost savings. The memorandum was prepared by Stephen Love, Leasing Specialist, and approved by Thomas Sisson, Lease Contracting Officer, both dated 2/19/2025.
