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

COMPETITION.

Remaining at the current location under a 36 month extension avoids a holdover and allows the Government to continue operations without disruption.

9. LIST OF SOURCES, IF ANY, THAT EXPRESSED, IN WRITING, AN INTEREST IN

THE ACQUISITION.

N/A

10. STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR

OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE ANY SUBSEQUENT

ACQUISITION.

In advance of an existing lease contract’s expiration, considerations will be given to allow for sufficient time to conduct a full and open procurement. The Government will consider the time and cost of moving from the existing location, and the time and cost to build out new space when deciding whether it is economically advantageous to stay at the existing building or to undergo a competitive action.

Additionally, consideration will be given to the customer agency’s mission and security requirements (if applicable) to include limiting any agency space requirements that may be deemed unduly restrictive and thus favor the incumbent. The Government will remain conscious of the effort to continuously encourage competition when practicable.
