FAR 5.202(a)(13)(i) states that the Contractor Officer need not submit the notice required under

FAR 5.201 if the Contracting Officer determines that the proposed contract action is for an amount not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Per Section 2 above, the current net operating annual rent of $88,050.88 is well below the simplified lease acquisition threshold (SLAT) of $250,000 net operating rent per annum.

4. COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS IF APPLICABLE (insert from lease decision tool, if not applicable N/A):

N/A.

5. CONTRACTING OFFICER CERTIFICATION AND DETERMINATION THAT THE

ANTICIPATED COST WILL BE FAIR AND REASONABLE:

The projected rental rate of $16.24 per RSF would fall within the expected market range. In addition to the aforementioned FAR reference that allows the Lease Contracting Officer to forego notice, GSAM 570.402 allows the Government to enter into a sole source action for continued occupancy when it is beneficial to the Government. In this event, a reasonable review by the Contracting Officer has determined that the Government could not expect to recoup the costs to relocate this agency through full and open competition. GSA plans to pursue this lease as it is under the SLAT Threshold at $250,000 net operating rent per annum.
