Justification

The Fremont-Winema National Forest, under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is extending a lease for 26,387 rentable square feet of office and warehouse space located at 2819 Dahlia Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon, under lease number 1204H100L0229. This six-year extension, running from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, is being executed as a sole-source action under GSAR 570.405 and statutory authority 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1) due to unforeseen delays in securing replacement federal space, with the intent to maintain uninterrupted operations and avoid the cost and disruption of relocation. The rental rate of $25.19 per rentable square foot annually was validated through market research using Loopnet data, resulting in a total estimated contract value of $3,323,442.65. The contracting office is based in Lakeview, Oregon, with Debbie Yoo designated as the primary point of contact. No competitive solicitation, evaluation factors, or clause requirements from FAR Part 52 are present, as this is a justification for non-competitive procurement rather than a full contract award. The action aligns with GSAM 570.106(d) and is certified by the Lease Contracting Officer and Preparer, who affirm the necessity and cost reasonableness of the extension. No attachments, payment details, inspection criteria, or representations from the lessor are provided in the documentation, and no CLIN structure, options, special requirements, or subcontracting plans are specified, reflecting the administrative nature of the lease continuation within existing federal real property management protocols.
