About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a lease extension issued by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Region 09 Leasing. The GSA currently leases 218,000 rentable square feet at SYCAMORE COLLECTION-BUILDING 1 in Riverside, CA for the TD OFF SECTY agency, under lease number LCA02676. The government requires a 36-month lease extension commencing October 1, 2025, with the lease extension deemed necessary to avoid operational disruption and unnecessary relocation costs.
Market research conducted on September 2, 2025, using CoStar verified that the rental rates are within the current market range and considered fair and reasonable. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as the statutory authority for sole source procurement, noting that changing locations would require entire requirement relocation and incur move and replication costs. The lease extension has been approved by the Lease Contracting Officer, the Real Estate Acquisition Division Director, and the Acting Regional Commissioner, with all parties certifying that the extension is in the government's best interest.

5. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS

GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

8. OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.
Remaining at the current location under a 36-month extension avoids a holdover and allows the Government to continue operations without disruption.
9. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN THE
ACQUISITION.
N/A
10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME
ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITION.
There are no systemic barriers to competition. If the agency has a continuing need for space upon lease expiration, GSA will follow all authorities, regulations and policies applicable to lease acquisition. Should there be remaining useful life in the Government’s tenant improvements, the Government will consider the cost of moving from the existing location, and the cost to build out new space when deciding whether to undergo a competitive action.
Additionally, objective scrutiny will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to eliminate unnecessary agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive.
