The General Services Administration’s PBS Office of Leasing has awarded a lease renewal to Marina Lakes, LLC for office space located at 21 E Garden St, Pensacola, Florida, with a total contract value of $4,630,519.50. The leased space, situated within a defined boundary bounded by Cervantes Street to the north, Main Street to the south, 9th Avenue to the east, and De Villiers Street to the west, must provide between 26,760 and 30,500 ABOA square feet of fully serviced office space. The lease term is set for five years, with an estimated occupancy date of July 15, 2026. The property must comply with federal standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic resilience, and sustainability, and it cannot be located within the 1-percent-annual chance floodplain. The facility is required to provide nine surface parking spaces, with no need for structured or reserved parking. The contract includes compliance with Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act, prohibiting the use of certain telecommunications equipment and services from specified foreign entities, as implemented through the Federal Acquisition Regulation. All offerors were required to be registered in SAM.gov and to submit expressions of interest by June 8, 2026, to Keitra Harris, the designated Lease Contracting Officer. The award decision was based on an evaluation of whether alternative locations offered economically advantageous solutions, factoring in relocation costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunications infrastructure, and potential agency downtime, ultimately leading to the renewal of the existing lease due to its favorable cost profile and alignment with operational needs.
