4WI0208 SSA Rice Lake - JOFOC Memo to File_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Memo to File for a lease renewal within the Social Security Administration (SSA). The lease, located at an unspecified address, will expire on December 31, 2026, and requires a 60-month renewal. The estimated net annual rent falls within the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT).

The memo indicates that the lease renewal is justified by a mission-based rationale, specifically that the agency's mission requires a unique location that cannot be satisfied through alternative options. The government is pursuing this renewal due to unexpected delays in acquiring replacement space. The document is prepared by a Leasing Specialist and approved by a Lease Contracting Officer, with the intent to allow GSA to develop a portfolio plan for leases that expire in FY26, necessitating the agency's continued occupancy of the current location.
