About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from GSA Region 3 Public Building Services for a succeeding lease in Richmond, Virginia. The document justifies awarding a sole-source lease to the incumbent lessor for 9,698 ABOA/11,632 rentable square feet of office space.

The current lease expires December 31, 2024, and GSA seeks to negotiate a 10-year lease (5-year firm term) starting January 1, 2025. The facility must include 24 parking spaces and a freight elevator. Market research conducted on January 24, 2023 identified 14 potential locations, but only 7 could meet the parking requirements. PBS posted an advertisement on SAM.gov for 20 days starting January 5, 2023, but received no offers. The justification cites that relocating would incur significant costs and require replication of existing tenant improvements for over 11,000 SF of space. The rental rates proposed for the succeeding lease were deemed fair and reasonable based on market surveys showing rates in the delineated area range within current market rates for the submarket.

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.

11. CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION.

By signature on this Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition, the GSA Lease Contracting Officer certifies that the award of a succeeding lease of 11,632 RSF 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.
