AWARD: General Services Administration Lease-Office Space Rio Rico, Arizona

The General Services Administration has awarded a sole-source lease contract to RIO RICO GSA ICE-FWS LLC for 24,152 rentable square feet of office space located at 41 Paseo De Yucatan, Rio Rico, AZ, under solicitation 3AZ0263. The award, dated May 20, 2026, with contract number LAZ03535, has a total value of $23,611,634.60 and encompasses a 20-year term with a 15-year firm base period and an option for five additional years. This lease replaces the prior facility under lease number GS-09P-LAZ02392, which expires on June 22, 2026, with occupancy of the new space scheduled to begin on June 23, 2026. The award was made on a non-competitive basis under GSAR 570.402 and 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1) because no other responsible source could meet the mission-critical requirement for continued operations within Rio Rico, AZ, and transitioning to a new location would result in substantial duplication of costs and operational disruption. Market research conducted through CoStar, LoopNet, and SAM.gov confirmed the incumbent as the only viable source, with its past performance deemed satisfactory and its proposed rental rate verified as fair and reasonable. The contractor’s address is 1 N Wacker Dr., Suite 4025, Chicago, IL, and the primary point of contact is Michael Noye. The contract does not specify CLINs, payment methods, accounting codes, inspection protocols, or delivery terms, as it is a pure real property lease governed by GSA's leasing regulations and not a standard procurement involving deliverables or services. The total value includes all base and option years, with no concessions included in the cited amount.
