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 570.402. In accordance with GSAR 570.402, use of the sole source authority is appropriate where it is determined that award to any other offeror would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition.

4.

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. Award to other than the current Lessor would require relocation of the entire requirement and would cause FAS to incur move and replication costs that would not be recovered through competition. Relocation costs are estimated to be

This includes Heating, ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) enhanced conference rooms with video teleconferencing capabilities, as well as all of the security requirements associated with an FSL I building, which would need to be replicated if FAS was to move.

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 Gove 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 (if applicable) to eliminate unnecessary agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive.
