About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services has awarded a sole-source lease extension to an unknown vendor for office and special purpose space in Abilene, Texas, effective June 1, 2026, with a total contract value of $1,221,832.50.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405, permitting sole-source acquisition when delays in relocation planning result from organizational, financial, or other uncertainties. The facility at 24 Windmill Circle comprises 13,209 rentable square feet of office and special purpose space plus 12,000 square feet of outdoor storage, uniquely configured for cotton classification operations. The specialized infrastructure includes laboratory space with precise HVAC control (70 degrees plus or minus 1 degree Fahrenheit at 65 percent relative humidity), MacBeth Type NL-D75-440 Norlight lighting standards, dust collection systems, and warehouse space. The agency determined that relocating to another facility would incur move and replication costs unrecoverable through competitive procurement. The lease extension runs for up to 60 months at an estimated annual cost of $244,366.50, calculated at $18.50 per rentable square foot per year. Market research conducted May 20, 2026, using LoopNet and CommercialCafe established a fair and reasonable rate of $25.69 per rentable square foot, consistent with Abilene market rates of $13.00 to $27.00 per square foot. Lease Contracting Officer Royce Ng certified the justification on May 28, 2026.
