1. NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED:

GSAM 570.401(a) provides the regulatory authority to add the unevaluated renewal option after the lease award. The General Services Administration (GSA) currently leases 2,760 ANSI/BOMA / 3,081 rentable square feet (RSF) of office space at 100 Town Center Drive S, Mooresville, IN 46158 under Lease No. GS-05B-18651 for MSHA. The current lease expires on September 29, 2024.
