SSA Extension of Term

MEMO

RE:  JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION NOT REQUIRED

2AZ0349 GS-09B-95816      

Date:               July 22, 2013

GSA is seeking a 12 month extension for the Social Security Administration in Casa Grande, Arizona.  Current annual rent is $82,360.00, including operating costs.  A JOTFOC is not required per the following policy: 

POLICY MEMO #9PMP-P-07-036

JULY 11, 2007

FROM:  THOMAS HIXSON

SUBJECT:  APPROVAL OF JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION:  SIGNATURE THRESHOLDS

“Instruction/Procedures:

b.  No JOTFOC Required:

ii  No JOTFOC Required:  At or Below SLAT.  For a proposed lease action at or below the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT) of $150,000 average net annual rent, no Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition is required.  However, documentation in the file must explain the absence of competition.”

Proposed Lease Action:  LEASE EXTENSION (12 MONTHS)

Net Annual Rent:  $120,582.00 (operating costs equal $0.00)

This is below the SLAT threshold of $150,000 net annual rent.

The long term requirements for SSA are being satisfied through a New/Replacing lease using full and open competition.  The extension is necessary to protect Government occupancy until the long term lease is in place and the tenant improvements are completed.

Approval:
