Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition 5IL0428

The contract pertains to a non-competitive lease extension for the Department Management (IG) at the Rickard Center in Springfield, Illinois, under Solicitation Number 5IL0428, issued by the General Services Administration’s PBS Office of Leasing. The action is justified under GSAR 570.405 and the Simplified Lease Acquisition Threshold (SLAT) to avoid holdover rental costs and ensure uninterrupted occupancy while relocation to new federally controlled space is delayed. The 36-month extension runs from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029, with an estimated total value of $213,186 based on an annual rent of $71,062, and no option periods or additional cost components are included. The acquisition is designated as no set-aside, uses NAICS code 531 for real estate, and relies on a cost-based rationale for bypassing full and open competition, with no socioeconomic or small business set-asides applied. The place of performance is clearly identified as 1124 Rickard RD, Springfield, IL 62704, and the primary point of contact is Henry Hargrove III, whose email is listed for coordination. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or specific invoicing or payment details are documented in the available materials, and no offeror representations, certifications, or Unique Entity IDs are provided, as the action was processed under simplified acquisition procedures without competitive bidding. The contracting office is located in Washington, DC, with an agency code of 47PA99, and while an approval was granted by Thomas Nisivaco, no official PCO, COR, or COTR roles or contact information are specified in the records.
