The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 2 issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition on February 25, 2026, to extend the incumbent lease for office space at Halmar Cargo Building 75 located at JFK Airport in Queens, New York, on behalf of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency. The justification supports a 30-month lease extension for 34,175 rentable square feet plus 14 parking spaces, commencing January 1, 2026, at an estimated annual cost of $2,077,840.00 and total contract value of $5,194,599.99 ($60.80 per RSF including electricity). GSA determined that sole-source procurement was appropriate because the incumbent lessor is the only responsible source, given that the space is specifically designed to support CBP's airport inspection and monitoring operations and is uniquely located on JFK Airport property, which requires close operational proximity. The extension was necessary to avoid operational disruption while GSA completes a competitive procurement for replacement space, which is projected to be awarded in calendar year 2026 with occupancy anticipated in 2028. Market research conducted in January 2026 confirmed that the proposed rental rate of $60.80 per RSF is fair and reasonable compared to comparable market rates ranging from $60.77 to $62.83 per RSF. The justification was approved on January 29-30, 2026, and the contract was awarded to an unknown vendor under contract number 5NY0814 on February 11, 2026.
