Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the expansion of an existing lease in Billings, MT. This action is to accommodate increased mission requirements and a more than doubled Funded Staffing Level (FSL) for the new Montana Field Office. This is not a solicitation for proposals, but a justification for a sole-source award.
Purpose & Scope
The GSA intends to expand the current lease by approximately 9,486 RSF (8,321.32 USF). The expansion will occur at the existing facility to ensure operational continuity and leverage current infrastructure. This expansion is considered outside the general scope of the original lease.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Justification for a sole-source lease expansion.
- Existing Lease Expiration: September 30, 2038 (firm term ends September 30, 2033).
- Expansion Term: Coterminous with the existing lease.
- Estimated Costs: Provided per rentable square foot for different term years within the document.
- Product Service Code: X1AA (Lease/Rental Of Office Buildings).
Justification & Authority
The justification cites statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.403 for using other than full and open competition. A cost-benefit analysis determined that relocating would be substantially more expensive than expanding the current lease. Market research, including a SAM.gov advertisement and outreach to brokers, was conducted, but the incumbent lessor was deemed uniquely qualified due to required adjacency, reduced security costs, and cost-efficiency for short-term needs.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
Not applicable, as this is a justification for a sole-source action, not a competitive solicitation.
