GSA Lease Award in Frederick, MD

The General Services Administration, specifically the PBS R3 Office of Leasing, has issued a lease award for office space located at 69 Thomas Johnson Drive in Frederick, Maryland. The agreement covers 25,825 rentable square feet, with the Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition specifying 25,801 ABOA square feet for the use of the USDA. The lease is structured for a total term of 15 years, consisting of an initial five-year firm period and one five-year renewal option. This contract was executed as a sole source procurement under solicitation 9MD2372 and NAICS code 53112. The decision to bypass full and open competition was based on the determination that the costs associated with relocating the agency would outweigh any potential savings gained through a competitive bidding process. The procurement was managed by the GSA office in Philadelphia, with Jessica Herring serving as the point of contact.
