AI Contract Overview
The General Services Administration (GSA), through its Public Building Service – Office of Leasing, has awarded a sole-source lease for 27,398 rentable square feet of office space located at 3520 West Waters Avenue, Tampa, Florida, under solicitation number 3FL0638. The lease is a succeeding lease continuation with an incumbent landlord, Tampa GSA MEPS, LLC, authorized under GSAR 570.402 and FAR 6.102(a)(1) due to the substantial avoidance of approximately $1 million in relocation and setup costs that would result from a competitive process. The agreement provides for a 10-year firm term with the option to extend up to 15 years total, commencing immediately after the current lease expires on June 16, 2026. The space supports the Military Enlistment Processing Command (MEPC), ensuring uninterrupted mission continuity and leveraging existing tenant improvements and infrastructure, including a backup generator. No competition was conducted, as market research, including data from CoStar and EOI, supported the determination that renewal with the incumbent is the most cost-effective and operationally efficient solution. The contracting officer certified the justification for other than full and open competition, and the award is not subject to any set-aside or socioeconomic preferences. Payment and contract administration are handled by GSA’s Office of Leasing in Washington, DC, with no specific invoicing system or remittance details provided. Inspections and acceptance are conducted by the Government at the Tampa location, with the lessor responsible for maintaining the facility in compliance with lease requirements. No formal contract clauses, packaging requirements, evaluation factors beyond cost avoidance, or offeror representations such as UEI, CAGE, or size status were included in the documentation. No pricing details are disclosed in the award notice, as the justification focuses on operational necessity and fiscal benefit rather than itemized cost data.
