This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a succeeding lease acquisition filed by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Region 4 on behalf of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The document justifies awarding a 20-year lease (15-year firm term) for 22,539 ABOA / 23,448 rentable square feet of office and related space at 3811 Corporex Park Drive, Tampa, Florida 33619, commencing February 2, 2026. The current lease under lease number G3-04P-FL44034 expires February 1, 2026. GSA proposes negotiating with the incumbent lessor without conducting full and open competition, citing 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) as statutory authority—specifically that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements and that awarding to another lessor would result in substantial duplication of costs unrecovered through competition. A cost-benefit analysis confirms that relocation expenses exceed the cost of remaining at the current location. GSA conducted market research on June 12, 2024, identifying multiple alternative properties through CoStar and local broker outreach, with the incumbent lessor expressing interest in the proposed rental rate. The market survey revealed rental rates within the delineated Tampa area ranged across various comparable properties, and the proposed rate is deemed fair and reasonable within the current market range. No vacant federal space is available, and no systemic barriers to competition exist. The document was certified by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer on July 9, 2024, with subsequent approvals and concurrences dated through July 22, 2024.
