Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the PUBLIC BUILDINGS SERVICE (PBS OFFICE OF LEASING), has posted a Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC). This document justifies a 36-month lease extension for office space in Fajardo, PR, to avoid a holdover situation and allow for the development of long-term requirements. The current lease expires on April 30, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC supports the extension of a lease for approximately 13,489.00 ANSI/BOMA Office Area square feet (14,017.00 rentable square feet) at THE FAJARDO GARDENS, FAJARDO, PR. The extension is for a period of 36 months, commencing May 1, 2026. The government requires full and partial termination rights with 120 days' notice during this extension period.
Contract Details
The estimated total annual cost for this lease extension is $678,815.00. The extension is necessary due to circumstances such as unexpected delays in acquiring replacement space, preventing a lapse in occupancy.
Justification for Non-Competition
The lease extension is being pursued without full and open competition under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.103-1 and GSAR 570.405. This approach is permitted for lease extensions under GSAR 570.106(d) and 570.405, which do not require an advertisement. Market research conducted indicates that the anticipated rental rates are fair and reasonable within the Fajardo market area. No other sources have expressed written interest in this acquisition.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
Not applicable, as this is a justification for a non-competitive lease extension.
