About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for a 36-month lease extension for office space in Tampa, Florida. The current lease is held by an unknown vendor under contract GS-04P-LFL36747, which was awarded on 2024-08-15 for an unknown amount.

The JOTFOC states that award to another lessor would require the relocation of the entire requirement and incur significant move and replication costs for the government that would not be recovered through competition. Recent market research conducted by the GSA Lease Contracting Officer showed rental rates in the Tampa area range from $X to $Y per rentable square foot (RSF), and the anticipated rate of $Z per RSF for the extension is deemed fair and reasonable. The document also notes there are no systemic barriers to competition, and the government will consider the costs of moving and buildout if a competitive action is required upon lease expiration.
