About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a lease extension by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The document concerns a lease extension for 36 months (12 months firm) for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 606 S Olive ST in Los Angeles, CA, covering 35,992 rentable square feet. The current lease expires on January 23, 2026, and the GSA is seeking to negotiate a lease extension with the incumbent lessor without full and open competition. The justification cites unexpected delays outside the government's control in acquiring replacement space as the primary reason for the non-competitive extension. Market research conducted on September 2, 2025, confirmed that the anticipated rental rates are within the current market range and deemed fair and reasonable by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer.

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.

By signature on this Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition, the GSA Lease Contracting Officer certifies that the award of a lease extension of 36 months for LCA02582 is in the Government’s best interest and that this Justification is accurate and complete to the best of the GSA Lease Contracting Officer’s knowledge and belief.
