Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Extension

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition filed by the U.S. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service for lease renewal of office space. Project Number OSC2088 involves the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) continuing to occupy 9,857 ANSI/BOMA square feet of office space at 440 Leed Avenue North Charleston, South Carolina under lease number GS-04P-LSC60028. The current lease expires October 31, 2026, and the justification seeks approval to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent lessor without open competition for continued occupancy at the current location.

The requirement is for 9,857 ANSI/BOMA occupancy area square feet (11,434 rentable square feet) for a 10-year term with 5 years firm, commencing November 1, 2026. The estimated cost per rentable square foot is redacted, with the lease delineated to the Charleston/North Charleston, South Carolina area. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as statutory authority for sole source procurement, emphasizing that relocation would result in substantial duplication of costs unrecoverable through competition. Market research conducted via CoStar and SAM.gov identified five potentially acceptable locations, with the incumbent expressing interest. The lessor's performance is documented as satisfactory under GSAM 517.207(b), and no other sources expressed written interest in the acquisition. The Contracting Officer certification is dated December 11, 2025.
