About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a real property lease extension.
The General Services Administration is requesting approval to extend the current lease for office space at Commerce Building, 510 Commerce Court, Manteca, California (Lease No. LCA02551) for the Social Security Administration without full and open competition. The current lease expires October 11, 2026, and the Government requires a 60-month extension commencing October 12, 2026. The estimated annual cost is calculated per rentable square foot fully serviced, with a total contract value listed but redacted in the document. The leased space comprises 8,610 assignable square feet and 8,959 rentable square feet.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as statutory authority, implemented through FAR 6.103-1 and GSAR 570.405, allowing sole source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The specific authority applies to situations involving delays in acquiring replacement space. The SSA encountered delays in establishing long-term facility requirements, and extending the lease provides opportunity to right-size space utilization and achieve future cost efficiencies. Relocation to alternative space would incur unrecoverable move and replication costs. Market research conducted September 8, 2026, using LoopNet and current GSA leases confirmed the rental rate falls within current market ranges for the Manteca submarket and is fair and reasonable. The extension avoids operational disruption and allows continued operations without a holdover period. The document was signed and approved on October 14, 2026, by the Lease Contracting Officer, with concurrence, approval, and legal review completed.

PROJECT NUMBER: 3CA1609
Agency Name: Social Security Administration (SSA)

The General Services Administration currently leases 8,610 ABOA/8,959 rentable square feet (RSF) of office space at Commerce Building, 510 Commerce Court, Manteca, CA under lease number LCA02551 for the Social Security Administration. The current lease expires 10/11/26. Approval is requested to negotiate a lease extension with the incumbent Lessor without full and open competition for continued occupancy at this leased location. The procedures for pursuing a lease extension are detailed in GSAR 570.405: Lease extensions.
2.
(INCLUDING ESTIMATED VALUE).
The Government requires an extension of the current lease for 60 months to commence on 10/12/26. The estimated cost of this lease extension is per RSF fully serviced per year for an annual cost of and a total contract value of $ .
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: FAR 6.103-1 (GSA RFO-2025-06) and GSAR 570.405. In accordance with GSAR 570.405, use of the sole source authority is appropriate when the Government experiences a delay in acquiring replacement space in situations such as, but not limited to, the following:
The agency occupying the leased space is scheduled to move into other Federally controlled space, but encounters unexpected delays in preparing the new space for occupancy
The government encounters unexpected delays outside of its control in acquiring replacement space
The government is consolidating various agencies and the contracting officer needs to extend the terms of some leases to establish a common expiration date
The agency occupying the space has encountered delays in planning for a potential relocation to other federally controlled space due to documented organizational, financial, or other uncertainties
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 during the extension period.
The SSA encountered delays in establishing its long-term requirements for this facility. Securing this extra term provides the agency with the opportunity to right-size its space utilization, which will drive future cost efficiencies. Award to other than the current Lessor would require relocation of the entire requirement
