Agency Name:

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

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

(INCLUDING ESTIMATED VALUE).

There is no vacant Federal Space available.

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

Relocation costs are estimated to be $ Additionally, this allows the Government to make use of existing tenant improvements, avoiding replication costs that could approach the $ A cost-benefit analysis was completed following the procedures set forth in GSAR 570.402-6. The cost of relocating using the low cost quote exceeds the cost of remaining at 319 PELHAM ROAD. Staying in place would provide a total savings to the Government in the amount of $

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 11/06/2023 for 3 days.

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

GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE.

Recent market surveys conducted by PBS in Greenville, SC showed the rental rate within the delineated area ranges from $ to $ Fully Serviced per RSF. (© 2024 CoStar Group)

Therefore, the proposed rental rates for this succeeding lease of $ /RSF, are within the current market range for this submarket and are deemed fair and reasonable by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer.

7. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS.

In addition, PBS posted an advertisement conforming to GSAR 570.402-2 on the Contract Opportunities domain of SAM.gov website on 11/06/2023, to which there were no responses.

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

The current Lessor is in good standing and tenant agency is satisfied with performance over the prior lease term. The most recent property inspection shows the space to be well maintained and in good condition.

9. 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.
