About this opportunity
The General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service has issued a sole source justification for a succeeding lease of office space to support the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Laredo, Texas. The awarded contract, valued at $8,410,144.68, was granted to Merlin Mann Investments, LLC for a 15-year lease (10 years firm) of 13,843 ABOA/15,919 rentable square feet of office space located at 500 E. Mann Road, along with 53 parking spaces, with the lease term commencing September 9, 2026. GSA justified the sole source procurement under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), determining that only one responsible source could satisfy the agency's requirements after conducting market research through a presolicitation notice posted from December 10, 2024, to January 3, 2025, which resulted in only one expression of interest from the incumbent lessor. The justification also cited the unavailability of vacant federal space in the specified location as supporting rationale for the limited competition approach. The contract was awarded on September 25, 2025, just one day before the notice was posted, indicating the urgency of maintaining continuity for the expiring lease.
