About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFO) for a succeeding lease for office space located in Meriden, CT. The General Services Administration (GSA) currently leases 1,495 rentable square feet of office space under lease LCT04336, which expires on 9/30/2024. The JOTFO requests approval to negotiate a sole source succeeding lease with the incumbent lessor for continued occupancy at the same location. The estimated cost of the 15-year lease with a 10-year firm term is $XXX per rentable square foot per year, for a total annual cost of $XXX and a total contract value of $XXX. Award to any other offeror would result in substantial relocation costs that would not be recovered through competition, as the agency would need to replicate existing tenant improvements. The JOTFO cites the statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), which allows for sole source awards when there is only one responsible source.
