AWARD; Office Space 6AR0059

Awarded on August 11, 2022, by the General Services Administration Region 7 Office of Leasing, this contract establishes a sole-source lease for office and vehicle maintenance space to support FBI operations in Little Rock, Arkansas. The agreement, designated as Lease GS-07P-LAR00511, is for a 20-year term beginning September 1, 2021. The facility comprises 102,377 rentable square feet, including 89,076 assignable building occupancy area square feet. The award was justified under GSAR 570.402 after market research and public advertisements failed to identify any alternative locations capable of meeting the agency's stringent technical and security requirements. The facility is a single-tenant building featuring a minimum 35,000 rentable square foot floor plate and a secured perimeter fence. A critical component of the site is the 14,500 assignable building occupancy area square foot vehicle maintenance area, which includes seven standard bays and one oversized bay, a 30,000-pound floor loading capacity, and a minimum interior clear height of 14 feet. To ensure mission security, the site must maintain a 100-foot setback from all public access points and be located at least 425 feet away from schools, hospitals, and hazardous materials. The contract was awarded to the incumbent lessor, USGP II Little Rock FBI LP, due to the unique physical characteristics of the property and the need to avoid prohibitive costs and operational disruptions associated with relocation.
