AWARD NOTICE - TSA LEASE AT A.B. WON PAT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The U.S. General Services Administration has executed a continuing need lease for the Transportation Security Administration at A.B. Won Pat International Airport in Tamuning, Guam, providing approximately 10,050 rentable square feet of space exclusively for administrative functions, shift-change operations, and employee break areas. The facility is located on airport property, a non-negotiable requirement under federal law and TSA’s statutory mission to maintain security operations at all U.S. commercial airports, leaving no viable alternative locations despite the facility being situated in an unknown floodplain. GSA conducted a review under Executive Order 11988 and determined that existing floodplain mitigation measures implemented by the airport sufficiently reduce risk, affirming that the lease does not place the agency or the public at increased hazard. The lease action falls under a class justification for other-than-full-and-open competition authorized by FAR Subpart 6.3 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), due to the unique and mandatory siting requirement on airport grounds. Solicitation number 9GU2013 was issued under the GSA’s Office of Leasing, with procurement conducted through the Public Buildings Service in Washington, DC, and performance wholly located at the specified site in Guam. No detailed pricing, line items, or contract value figures are disclosed, and the period of performance is indefinite, consistent with TSA’s ongoing operational needs since 2002. Public comments on the lease action may be submitted within 30 days of notice to the designated GSA point of contact, Cheryl Nolting, with no formal submission process or proposal requirements outlined for potential offerors. The absence of clause-specific language, inspection criteria, invoicing methods, or accounting data reflects the nature of this as a streamlined, mission-driven lease action governed by statutory authority rather than traditional procurement protocols.
