About this opportunity

The General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Leasing issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on March 2, 2026, to extend its current lease for office space at 1415 State Street in Santa Barbara, California, without full and open competition. The extension covers 21,574 ABOA/22,324 rentable square feet and includes facilities for the Bankruptcy Court, Bankruptcy Judge Courtrooms, United States Trustees, and Magistrate Judge Chambers, with a 24-month term commencing February 13, 2026 (following the expiration of the previous lease on February 12, 2026). GSA justified the non-competitive extension under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAM 570.405, citing unexpected delays in acquiring replacement space and the cost-effectiveness of remaining at the current location, as relocation costs would exceed extension costs and cause operational disruption. The awarded contract, LCA94651, was extended to the existing landlord for an undisclosed amount, though market research conducted on February 9, 2026, confirmed the quoted rental rate is justified by specialized built-out features including courtrooms, judges' chambers, and secured public entry. The justification received approvals from the Division Director, Legal Review, and Competition Advocate, with certification by Lease Contracting Officer Susan Baghdikian on March 2, 2026.
