About this file
This document is a Memo to File providing documentation to explain the absence of competition for a lease extension within the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT). The memo concerns lease number LMS62559 for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) located at 2109 University Ave, Oxford, MS, which is set to expire on August 31, 2025. The government requires a 24-month lease extension due to unexpected delays in acquiring replacement space, with the extension supported by GSAR 570.405. The cost-based rationale indicates that the lease extension is necessary to protect the government's occupancy rights and avoid holdover tenancy costs, with the estimated net annual rent redacted but confirmed to be within the SLAT. The document is signed by two individuals on 6/5/2025, justifying the lease extension based on government-encountered delays and cost considerations.

Cost based rationale
Lease extensions represent short-term contracting actions which are necessary to protect the occupancy rights of the government when the government cannot vacate the premises by the expiration of the existing contract term.
Extensions avoid the costs associated with holdover tenancies. Additionally, the government cannot reasonably expect to recover the costs associated with relocation of the tenant agency through full and open competition of a separate short-term lease to cover the term of this extension.
Mission based rationale
The agency’s mission for this location requires a unique location and cannot be satisfied through any alternative locations. The agency’s mission and justification for a unique location is summarized below:
