GSA On Airport JOFOC 1.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from GSA's Public Buildings Service for TSA on-airport leasing. The document outlines the justification for limited competition in acquiring administrative and support workspace for TSA at airport properties, as authorized under FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1).

The justification explains that TSA requires space at airports for security checkpoint screening areas and administrative functions, created under Public Law 107-71. The document specifies that market surveys will be conducted as space needs arise, with notices published under FAR 5.201 and GSAM 505.202. The contracting officer must certify that lease contracts are within scope and that costs are fair and reasonable. The document establishes TSA's critical need to be located on airport property to fulfill its aviation security responsibilities, which began after the passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act in November 2001.
