Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - Atlanta, GA

The U.S. General Services Administration through its PBS R2 Office of Leasing is conducting market research to assess the availability and cost-effectiveness of acquiring fully serviced office space in Atlanta, Georgia, specifically within the area bounded by North Ave NW, I-85 or I-80 to the east, I-20 to the south, and I-20 to Peters St SW to Chapel St SW to Northside Drive SW/NW to the west. The intended space range is between 23,036 and 24,188 square feet with a proposed 24-month lease term and occupancy required no later than September 1, 2026. The solicitation, identified as 6GA0322 and posted on June 24, 2026, is a sources-sought notice designed to gather industry input rather than to issue an immediate award, and responses are due by June 30, 2026, via email to Bena Parker Courville, the Lease Contracting Officer. Compliance with federal regulations is mandatory, including adherence to NDAA Section 889, which prohibits the use of telecommunications and video surveillance equipment from certain foreign adversaries, and the space must not be situated within a 0.2-percent-annual floodplain. Additionally, the facility must meet federal standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic resilience, and sustainability, and must provide eight reserved parking spaces. The agency is not providing contract value estimates or pricing details at this stage, as this is a pre-solicitation market research effort to determine economic feasibility; no formal evaluation factors, award basis, or contract clause language is included in the notice. No specific packaging, marking, invoicing, or payment instructions are outlined, and there is no designated contracting officer’s representative or technical representative listed. The NAICS code 531120 applies to this action, and the place of performance is clearly defined as Atlanta, GA 30303, while the contracting office is located at the GSA’s New York office. Submissions must be made via email without use of a government portal, and although no formal proposal structure or page limits are specified, respondents are expected to reference the associated advertisement for additional guidance. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status filings are required at this point, as no offeror responses have been collected, and the outcome will inform future procurement decisions rather than result in an immediate contract award.
