General Services Administration (GSA) awards 25,153 RSF of office and related space in Fresno, CA

The General Services Administration (GSA) PBS Office of Leasing has awarded a sole source lease extension under solicitation 6CA1284 for 25,153 rentable square feet of office space located at 7815 N Palm Ave, Fresno, California. This non-competitive action, authorized under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and GSAR 570.405, provides for a 60-month extension of lease LCA02608 beginning August 1, 2026. The extension is necessary to maintain uninterrupted government occupancy and avoid significant relocation costs due to unexpected delays in securing replacement facilities under Project 2CA1800. The award was justified based on operational necessity and the unique qualifications of the incumbent lessor, with market research conducted via CoStar to ensure rental rates remain fair and reasonable. The procurement process bypassed standard competitive evaluation factors, such as technical approach or price competition, focusing instead on mission continuity. Administrative oversight is managed by Contracting Officer Yen Banh, and the extension will remain in effect for 60 months or until the completion of the succeeding long-term lease project.
