The General Services Administration has awarded contract GS-02B-LNY23698 on a sole-source basis to extend parking lease space in Jamaica, Queens, New York for the Department of Homeland Security, with an award date of August 19, 2026.

The extension covers seventy reserved parking spaces—forty structured and thirty surface—at 167-16 147th Avenue for an additional sixty months commencing November 1, 2026. The current lease expires October 31, 2026. GSA justified the sole-source action under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), citing DHS's documented delays in planning relocation to federally controlled space due to organizational and financial uncertainties. GSA conducted market research on July 14, 2026 using REXUS data from existing GSA parking leases in the New York City area and confirmed the proposed rental rate falls within current market range. GSA determined no vacant federal space is available and that remaining at the current location is in the government's best interest, as relocation would incur substantial move and replication costs far exceeding the five-year extension cost. The estimated annual cost is based on the current parking rental rate with no tenant improvements or building-specific capital work required. Termination rights during the extension period provide flexibility for future relocation. No other sources expressed written interest. GSA's Lease Contracting Officer, legal counsel, and Competition Advocate approved the justification between July 27 and August 4, 2026.
