Redacted Justification-2TX1267_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (OTFOC) for a real estate leasing acquisition by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Region 7, Leasing Division.

GSA seeks to negotiate a succeeding lease with the incumbent lessor for 28,417 rentable square feet (ABOA) of warehouse and office space located at 6651 N. Belt Line Road, Irving, Texas, under lease number GS-07P-LTX16696. The current lease expires September 22, 2026, and the new lease is expected to commence September 23, 2026. The estimated annual cost is redacted but totals a redacted contract value over the lease term. The facility serves FBI mission requirements and must remain in Irving, Texas. The delineated area is bounded by State Highway 114 (north), N Walton Walker Texpress/Toll Road (east), E/W Airport Freeway/Texas 183 Texpress (south), and Highway 121 (west). GSA justifies the OTFOC under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.402, citing relocation costs that would not be recovered through competition. Market research conducted on November 21, 2024, using CoStar and local broker outreach identified comparable properties; the incumbent lessor quoted a rate within the current market range and deemed fair and reasonable. One other interested party expressed interest at a lower quoted rate. The facility contains FSL Level II security requirements, SCIF space, climate control, hardened security fencing, and automatic access gates that would require replication at alternative locations. Past performance documentation was reviewed and deemed satisfactory. The justification was prepared and revised October 23, 2023.
