About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) filed by the U.S. General Services Administration's PBS Office of Leasing for a lease extension at 6651 Gateway Park Drive, San Diego, California (Project Number 6CA1318).
The GSA seeks to extend the current lease (LCA01680) for 60 months commencing November 1, 2026, for 8,045.00 ABOA/9,039.00 rentable square feet of office space. The current lease expires October 31, 2026. The extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as a sole source acquisition, citing unexpected delays outside the government's control in acquiring replacement space, implemented through FAR 6.103-1 (GSA RFO-2025-06) and GSAR 570.405. The rationale for non-competitive procurement includes the tenant agency's ongoing development of long-term space requirements, making a competitive procurement impractical within the timeframe. The government determined that remaining at the current location during the extension period is in the government's best interest, as it is a 24/7/365 operation. Market research conducted on August 7, 2026, using LoopNet established that anticipated rental rates for the extension fall within current market ranges for the San Diego submarket. No sources expressed written interest in the acquisition. The justification was signed by Lease Contracting Officer Kovas Palubinskas on September 28, 2026, and approved by supervisory and legal personnel through September 29, 2026.

Revised MAR 2026
Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Extension
U.S. General Services Administration
PBS, Office of Leasing
JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
PROJECT NUMBER: 6CA1318
Agency Name:
1. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED.
The General Services Administration currently leases 8,045.00 ABOA/9,039.00 rentable square feet (RSF) of office space at 6651 GATEWAY PARK DRIVE, 6651 GATEWAY PARK DR , SAN DIEGO, CA under lease number LCA01680 for the . The current lease expires October 31, 2026. Approval is requested to negotiate a lease extension with the incumbent Lessor without full and open competition for continued occupancy at this leased location. The procedures for pursuing a lease extension are detailed in GSAR 570.405: Lease extensions.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY’S NEEDS
(INCLUDING ESTIMATED VALUE).
The Government requires an extension of the current lease for 60 months to commence on November 1, 2026.
3. IDENTIFICATION OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN
COMPETITION.
41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This statutory authority is implemented through: FAR 6.103-1 (GSA RFO-2025-06) and GSAR 570.405. In accordance with GSAR 570.405, use of the sole source authority is appropriate when the Government experiences a delay in acquiring replacement space in situations such as, but not limited to, the following:
The agency occupying the leased space is scheduled to move into other Federally controlled space, but encounters unexpected delays in preparing the new space for occupancy
The government encounters unexpected delays outside of its control in acquiring replacement space
The government is consolidating various agencies and the contracting officer needs to extend the terms of some leases to establish a common expiration date
The agency occupying the space has encountered delays in planning for a potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to documented organizational, financial, or other uncertainties
4. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR
NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED.
In the normal procurement process, would provide long term requirements approximately three years out so that GSA could run a competitive procurement. Because is still developing long term requirements, it is vital that occupancy be protected and an extension is the most expedient way to achieve this.
