3NV0138 -GSA Awards 15 Year Lease in Reno, NV

The General Services Administration has awarded a 15-year lease for 35,692 rentable square feet of office space at 6999 Sierra Center Parkway in Reno, Nevada, to accommodate the continued operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The lease, which begins on August 5, 2026, and extends through August 4, 2041, includes a 10-year firm term and a 5-year optional extension, with a total contract value of $24,986,317.25. The space supports critical ICE functions including detention rooms, judicial hearing rooms, secure storage, laboratories, LAN infrastructure, and other specialized operational areas requiring FSL Level III security standards such as intrusion detection, shatter-resistant windows, video surveillance, and alarm systems. The award follows a sole-source justification approved on August 22, 2024, under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), based on a cost-benefit analysis demonstrating that relocating or competing the lease would incur prohibitive duplication and relocation expenses. Market research, including CoStar data and public postings on SAM.gov, confirmed no viable alternatives due to the facility’s unique physical and security specifications, which are tailored to ICE’s mission and cannot be replicated elsewhere without substantial cost and disruption. The incumbent lessor has demonstrated excellent performance with no major deficiencies, further supporting the decision to renew without competition. The lease also provides for 24 surface and 14 structured parking spaces and maintains existing tenant improvements under ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 measurement standards. Contract administration is managed by GSA’s PBS Region 9 Leasing Division in San Francisco, California, with oversight from multiple approving officials including the Regional Commissioner and Assistant Regional Counsel, though specific contract performance representatives are not identified. Invoicing details, payment office information, and specific accounting codes are not provided, and no formal contract clauses, attachments, or offeror certifications are included in the available documentation.
