Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Succeeding Lease

U.S. General Services Administration

GSA Region 10

Leasing Division

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

PROJECT NUMBER: 1WA2229

Agency Name: Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Senate (Senators Cantwell and Murray)

1. NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF ACTION BEING APPROVED.

The General Services Administration currently leases 71 reserved, structured parking spaces at 999 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA under lease number GS-10B-07456 for the EOIR, , IRS, and Senate. The current lease expires 9/21/2024. Approval is requested to negotiate an added renewal with the incumbent Lessor without full and open competition for continued occupancy at this leased location. The procedures for pursuing an added renewal are detailed in GSAR 570.401: Renewal.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED TO MEET THE AGENCY’S NEEDS

(INCLUDING ESTIMATED VALUE).

A Continuing Need Letter and/or a signed Client Planning Agreement (CPA) was received from each agency, expressing a continuing need for reserved parking for Government owned vehicles. All of the agencies require parking spaces within adequate walking distance, or adjacent to, their direct office space.

No vacant federally-controlled space is available that satisfies the parking requirement for all agencies listed under this lease.

This requirement is for a 10-year term to commence on 9/22/2024. The cost of this lease annually is $517,164.00 with a total contract value of $5,171,640.00.

3. IDENTIFICATION OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION.

41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1): Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This statutory authority is implemented through GSAR 570.401.

4. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR

NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED.

It is in the best interest of the Government to remain at the current location; in accordance with GSAR 570.402-4, because no acceptable alternatives were identified that could satisfy this parking requirement, a cost-benefit analysis is not required for this justification.

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

MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS IS PRACTICABLE.

Per the requirements of GSAR 570.402, the GSA Lease Contracting Officer placed an advertisement on the Contracting Opportunities domain of SAM.gov on 12/21/2023 for 14 days.

6. DEMONSTRATION BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER THAT THE ANTICIPATED COST TO THE

GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

GSA conducted independent market research and was unable to locate an acceptable alternative to the current location with a fixed rate per space, for a 10-year term. Maintaining a long-term, 10-year lease with firm pricing at this location versus negotiating multiple, shorter-term leases, saves duplication of efforts among the agencies. Therefore, the proposed rental rates for this succeeding lease of $607/month/parking stall, are within the current market range for this submarket and are deemed fair and reasonable by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer.

7. OTHER FACTS SUPPORTING USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.
