About this opportunity
The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office has awarded contract LMT00980 to A Bar S Properties LLC on a sole-source basis for a succeeding lease of office and warehouse space in Scobey, Montana, on May 12, 2026.
The lease covers 21,250 assignable square feet at Highway 5 East, Scobey, Montana (Lease Number GS-LMT-13982), supporting the Department of Homeland Security Border Patrol. The current lease expires December 14, 2026. GSA justified the sole-source award under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.402 on the basis that relocation would result in substantial duplication of costs unrecoverable through competition. Cost-benefit analysis demonstrated that relocation costs exceed the cost of remaining at the current location, yielding total government savings through avoided tenant improvement replication and move costs. No vacant federal space is available. The facility meets Border Patrol's requirement for location outside 500 feet of schools or residential areas and provides way-finding signage capability. Market research conducted by Cushman & Wakefield and Sterling Commercial Real Estate Advisors on June 11, 2024, identified only one potentially acceptable location in the delineated area. The incumbent lessor's proposed rental rates are considered fair and reasonable within the current market range. All required approvals were obtained February 18, 2025.
